Snow Day

Blog neglect is a crime, and we have been very guilty.  As many of you may have seen, the Midwest got hit with a big snow storm Saturday and Sunday.  We got up this morning and braved the snowy roads to go to church.  We got there 20 minutes late, but it didn't matter because they hadn't started yet.  We delayed starting our meeting by a half hour because not everyone participating in the Christmas program had arrived yet.  The program was beautiful, but sparsely attended.  The Bishopric elected to cancel the rest of our meeting to allow everyone to get home (the wind was suppose to pick up in the afternoon).  We would have gotten home early, but Bro. Kurabayashi ran his mini-van into a pile of snow in the parking lot.  We attempted for about an hour to get his car out but to no avail.  Fortunately, a snow plower saw our struggles and rescued the van.  When we got home, I had this urge to take Jack outside for his first real romp in the snow.  As luck would have it, we just purchased him a new snow suit last weekend  and our friends, the Petersons, let us borrow some snow boots and a perfectly sized sled.  



After bundling up, we headed out into the winter wonderland.  During our adventure, there were moments of sheer joy...



mixed with moments of sheer terror.




Jack made his first snow angel.



Everyone has a wonderful time.
