Some time ago Emily began praying for a violin. She got a violin. She also prayed for a bunk bed. She got a bunk bed. And she prayed for snow. Did she get snow! Look real close at that first photo, and you can see a little bit of it way off in the distance. Much to my desert-loving DH's chagrin, he had to make good on his promise that if it ever snowed close enough to home, he would take the girls up the highway a piece to play in it. Did it matter that our collection of winter gear consists of a hodge-podge of old mittens and two pair of $5 winter boots? Did it matter that two of us are sick and one is getting over it? Of course not! It was Emily's first time ever, but all the girls were thrilled. So tonight Emily is thanking the Lord for snow, and her parents are thanking the Lord we don't live in it.

Now that we have "dethawed", it wasn't so bad...
ReplyDeleteDon't take that to mean it would be good to have in on our driveway
Oh man - I would GLADLY send you all of our snow!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember when we lived in San Diego, and I actually used to miss it! What was I thinking?!?
I'm glad that your little one got her wish, though!

Dispite the colds, the girls look like they all had a great time. I'm so happy that Emily had her prayers answered - you know that speaks volumns to a little girl's heart. Just so she doesn't start praying for a pony. lol Fun pictures! You have my kind of winter - where you can drive away from it again. :)
ReplyDeleteCan I give Emily my prayer list?? :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time - after living in Alaska, I'm still all snowed out.

The snow looks like fun. I'm happy that the Lord blesses you all with it.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the Lord answered her prayer by giving her a daddy that knows the valoe of a promise made.
