Snowed In-Black and White Wednesday

We are on day three of the big "snow in". The winter storm that everyone was anticipating came in late Sunday night and covered us with six inches of snow! This is so unusual for our area and not something that we are accustomed to so everything pretty much shuts down. So we "hunker down" in our cozy home(thankful that there were no power outages) and when we do venture out side we just enjoy the winter wonderland that has surrounded us. Here is Emanuiel running out into the snow, in just a few minutes he was rolling around making snow angels and grabbing for our sled!

This one, was quite the opposite, she took her time, watched her step and proceeded with caution!

Once dad got home(some people did have to work) it was sled time central. These two traveled up and down our driveway many times squealing with delight. I did have a turn on the sled myself, thankfully there are no pictures of that!!!

A little later we loaded up the golf cart and went for a spin(literally) around our neighborhood. We stopped by the Sargent's house for more fun in the snow.

We had to try out their sled and driveway too!!

Our first day out in the snow proved to be a little problemsome for Emanuiel. Snow kept getting on his glasses and obscuring his view. So while we were getting ready for our day two adventure he came into his room determined to keep his glasses clean. He found the goggles from his tool set and immediately put them over his glasses for protection. This little guy is quite the problem solver and he just cracks us up with his inventiveness!!

These two just look like they are ready for some snow fun!!

We climbed aboard the golf cart for yet another neighborhood adventure and then just tromped around the yard to see how many tracks we could make.

Of course no outing would be complete without a sampling of homemade snowballs! And when we could stand the cold no longer we hurried into the house where...

we lined boots up our steps, left wet coats hanging, put mittens over the vents to dry and snuggled in our pajamas in front of a warm fire to enjoy an evening of cards...

giggles, and fun. Today will be spent in much the same way. After some more fun in the snow we will come in to cuddle on the couch while cupping mugs of hot chocolate to warm cold little hands!

Until next time...

God has a purpose for all things...even the snow that falls.

Isaiah 55:10 NIV
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

Happy Wednesday!
