With Grateful Hearts

With grateful hearts for family and friends, for those near to us and those who are near in our hearts. For hope and joy, and sorrow and struggles. For laughter and tears, and the songs that He gives along the way. But most of all for Jesus...the Author and Finisher of our faith. It is with grateful hearts that we share with you here.

Winter Wonderland

Well, we certainly got our fair share of snow, and here are a few photos to prove it.


Everyone enjoyed it!






























Matthew and Christian built "recliners"!






But the highlight came after dark when Mitchell (17) announced that he was going outside to "JUMP OFF STUFF". All the boys got into the act.

I must admit I was a bit nervous when they decided the snow was deep enough to jump off the top of the swingset. It's about 10 feet. However, as a mom of boys, I know that when there is not a terrible threat of danger, it's important to let boys be daring! The only casualty was when Christian didn't jump high enough off the shed roof and ended up pinned inside the raspberry bushes and had to be rescued by Mitchell.


And this is how Mitchell landed...in a poof of snow with only his head sticking out! The boys wanted me to video them jumping off the swingset, but they were unimpressed with the results seeing as how the jump lasted about one second.
