Winter Wonderland

When we woke up this morning, we had 8" of snow. When Michael opened the door, Mieke and Mollie ran outside and were prancing around through the snow like little lambs. They were rolling around in it and eating it and having so much fun! Michael took lots of pictures, which I will post here. A little later in the day, the sun came out, so Michael and I made a snowman. I can't even remember the last time I made a snowman! Then, we had a good, old-fashioned snowball fight! It was a lot of fun. Cade called me later and when I told him about the snow, he said he wanted to play in the snow, too. We are supposed to get more snow tonight. Then the temperatures are predicted to drop into the 20's and maybe even the teens. Enough of the snow melted today to make the ground really soggy, so if we get a good freeze, we'll have icy conditions on the roads. NOT looking forward to that!

We had our Elder's Quorum President come over last night and gave us both blessings. He also offered the use of his suburban for a couple of weeks. It's a 4x4, so at least Michael can get to work. Jared has been doing some research for us to help get the transmission fixed in Michael's truck. So, hopefully we can get that done soon. We will also have to start looking for a new vehicle for me before Christmas. We had been talking about getting a heavier vehicle with 4x4 anyway, so now I guess it will be sooner rather than later. It's hard to think about having a car payment again. Keep us in your prayers! With this weather, Michael's work tends to slow way down. We have been so blessed and I know the Lord will open the doors we need so things can happen.

Thank you so much for your love an prayers following the accident. It's nice to know family will rally around and be there, especially when things get tough. We love you all!!
