snow adventures

Our water pipes are frozen. I feel like I'm living half in the past and half in the present! We're melting snow for water to go in the toilet tank and basic cleaning. We have some store bought water for drinking. And yet, I'm able to post this on FB via internet (our electric is still on thank God). And our heaters are running! Yay! Snow adventures! lol

Other activities involving the snow are building weird two headed snowmen,

throwing snowballs at each other,

and being dragged behind the truck on a sled.

Yeah, sometimes we're just redneck.

Yikes! The driver!! lol

Don't worry, we were going veeeerrrrrryyyy ssssllloooowwwww. lol

Calling it a day.

Until next time...

growing up

So there comes a time in every parent's life when their kids get to that point when they can go on trips by themselves. Yes. We have reached that stage in parenthood. It's scary - but exciting. You pray, you worry a little, you pray some more. You let go and trust God to take care of them. You trust them to remember what you have taught them over the years. It's not that they are leaving permanently. It's just a little jaunt off to the grandparents' house. But it's the beginning. It's a new journey in life that we must adjust to.

What am I rambling about? My two oldest went waaaaaaaay out to California last week to spend the 4th of July at their Grandpa's. They are only 13 and 15. Only!! lol Well, they had fun and I'm glad. I see more trips in the future, but we will cross those bridges when we get to them. Such is life, eh?
