Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are are at home and when you are on the road, when your are going to bed and when your are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

A Winter Wonderland

 

We awoke Saturday morning to this…

The above was taken after the windows were wiped off enough to back the truck up for plowing purposes.  Oh, did I mention that when we went to bed there was NO…I repeat, NO snow on this vehicle at all.

I had one rule to start the day.  The little kids had to be dressed first.  I didn’t want the older kids dressing quickly and rushing out before the younger ones even found their boots.  Besides, I knew these two wouldn’t last as long so I let them try out the fresh snow first.

When it snows all this girl can think about is sledding.  She was ready whether it was going anywhere or not.

Made it out the door.

Probably got snow in his boots.

At our house when it snows Joe gets the tractor out to plow the driveway.  Which inevitably means attaching the sleds to the back of the tractor and taking the kids for a ride.

Jackson fell of and Holland’s not too sympathetic.

Now she feels bad…not.

When I brought London in (she lost a boot and got a face full of snow) she was pouting at me and wouldn’t let me take her picture (notice the pouty lips, she’s a good actress).

Sorry but,

I couldn’t resist!

For those of you feeling bad, she was faking it all along!

Joe found this little guy, I’m sure he too was wondering where all this white stuff came from.  Harrison was searching frantically for a container to keep him in!  I made it quite clear that he was going right back out where they found him.

Marilyn was very curious, I’m sure she had herself a snack after the boys let him go in the snow!
