Eli has learned that God sometimes answers prayer in his favor. He asked for snow. It came. This is more surprising than usual since none came last year. A few Saturdays back the kids are jumping on us in our bed (at what age can parents bar the children from invading their room?) and we suggested that Eli look out the window. It is 8:00am. SNOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! A cacophony of excited yelling, quick dressing, and loud breakfast immediately followed. We were fully geared and outside by 9:00am. And we were the only people outside. Our children made the first boot-prints on the nearby soccer field, several snow angels, and threw snow balls. We had no plans that day and it was our best family day in a long, long time. We played for an hour, drank hot chocolate, decorated the house for Christmas, and found a tree that afternoon. The kids were in heaven. It was great.

brings back all the memories Sand... yea, I know, it makes it sound like it was years ago... usually that's how it feels, but in this case I can still feel the ship and smell the smells (most of them good), and picture the people etc. I can still "be there". It was marvelous... I'm going back! On a scale of 1 to 10 re enjoyment... about a 14.7!
I had a super great time... the travel, the new places and people and the Eli Mc Fly and Mary Mary. It really was just plain a WONDERFUL experience... thank you so much Sand and Kev. I wander where the other kids will take us on vacation? We've always wanted to go to Australia/New Zealand!
Great blog news.. Mary & Eli's was a bit better than mom's... so keep trying Sand. Love, DAD
