Big Snow of 2021

-
Two (2) weeks before we were scheduled to move, we had a big snow. A snow so big that we all got an entire week off from school and work.  A whole week off from work is almost unheard of. I was really thankful for this snow.  It gave us a quiet and fun week to enjoy our home together in a way that we never had before - and never would again.  We spent several days sledding, walking along creek in our boots, and building snowmen. This may sound silly, but it felt like a gift from the Father and I savored every moment of it.

The last time Will saw snow, he was really too little to enjoy it.  This time, he reveled it in.

We spent so much time sledding - both in the yard and on the road.

It also happened to be around Valentine's Day and Nana had sent up chocolate.

Since we were home, Finn decided that he wanted to bake cookies.  He did well. 

The week off also gave us time to pack, patch nail holes, paint and do other things around the house to get ready for the sale.  Like I said, it was a gift.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
