Beautiful Winter

I know with a title like that on this blog you would expect a picture. Sorry to disappoint, but you will just have to use your imagination. Like a large section of the country, this week we have had ice. School was even canceled one day. So by yesterday, it was time to run errands--we hadn't been out of the house for days! I never thought I would be thankful for a Wal-Mart trip! The roads were clear, but the trees were covered with the most beautiful ice. The day before it was mostly clear ice, but this day was white. As we drove SweetDoll, SweetTate and I were in awe of the beauty of the winter! God really out-did Himself today! I was glad the roads were clear because I was watching the scenery more than watching for ice patches on the road.

Anyway, there is not much exciting going on here, just the normal stuff. SweetHeart and I have been going to a Bible study with some friends called The Truth Project. It has been so good and very thought provoking. It has really hightened my awareness of God's truth and what lies I have fallen for from the world's point of view. One of the theme questions is "Do you really believe, that what you believe is really real?" Think on that one for a while! All of that to say, if there is one happening in your area, it is worth the effort to go! On a kids note...Baseball sign-ups were this week. This spring we will be juggling 2 teams. SweetDoll is so excited to play! Speaking of her...as I watched her play, I realized that I have to get her new pants! Her other ones are getting so short. Anytime we are out, people ask if the two little ones are twins, but she has grown and the gap between them is a bit bigger. Not much though, it will not be long before SweetTate passes her! Which will rock their world, because you know the tallest is the oldest! One day the kids asked if I was as O-L-D as Uncle Justin! He just loved that! I guess I better go get the laundry done, again. Hope you are having a beautiful winter day too!
