Unbelievable Snow!
Leaving snow (along with dear friends and family) was one of the hardest parts about moving from Colorado! We were told several times not to expect too much snow. Would you believe that it has snowed over 8 times this winter but the last few days have been heavenly (if you love snow like we do)! We awoke to over 5 inches of snow two days ago along with loss of electricity, which also means no water since we are on a well. We figured since the area public schools were cancelled, so was ours! We enjoyed the wood stove, snow play, hot cocoa with hot water boiled on the wood stove and games! It really felt like a true day off! Scott had to help the neighbor cut up a tree that had fallen over his driveway. Poor Scott, he just hates to pull out his chainsaw (just kidding:)! By 5pm, we had electricity back, just long enough for us to enjoy a day borrowed from the past. The next morning, we awoke to another 4 inches and the beautiful sun glowing! What fun it was to borrow some snow, if even only in an unexpected storm!

What a beautiful, winter wonderland. It looks like our Heavenly Father knows exactly what you all need. Wish we could have been there and shared some hot chocolate together. We love you all.

Looks a lot like Colorado to me!! Snow is one of the main things our children miss also. Missouri is probably even worse than Oregon, as you know. We had one that they could play in this year. They really enjoyed it.
