Embracing.......

a kinder, more gentle word for 'sucking it up'. No, I'm just kidding! But it is what we have been trying to do a bit more fervently lately. Especially, where snow is concerned. We have already got quite a lot. Sledding is one activity we agreed we could all sort of enjoy at this phase of life (considering ages and abilities of the kiddos). For the most part, we all have fun with this activity, except Eric. He cries each time we put him in a sled. Maybe if it had wheels, he would like it:)
Here are some pics....







Actually, we are liking the snow. For me, it brings back some sweet memories of when I was a little girl. Growing up in Michigan, it seemed it was snowing all of the time. And when Torrey and I were first married, I remember making a trip up to Michigan for my cousin's wedding. It was early December and it snowed almost the entire time we were there. It wasn't blizzard-y snow - just a gentle and peaceful snow that dogs love to play in. Snow that is perfect for mid-night walks as it's glow gives a little light in the darkness. Sweet. For Torrey - it gives him an extra hour or so each morning to himself while he snowblows our LONG driveway. Well, not sure if he's embracing that yet, but I know he's grateful for our snowblower:)
So, yes! The snow is a good thing right now. I continue to be thankful to God who gives us everything we need.
