Brady's Snow Tunnels

Brady has been having a great time digging tunnels under the big snow pile! His tunnel has three different entrances.

Snow Day!

We had another snow storm come through! After our driveway was plowed, we had a big pile underneath one of our trees. I'm sure you can guess where that led!
With Brittany and Brady, and their cousin Caleb...this was sure to happen sooner or later.

Lamentations 3:22-23

 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not. 

They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

Homemade Flame-thrower!

We were in Kansas over the New Year, and enjoyed our time with the family. Our cousins seem like they're always up to something...inventing something, building something, and so on. (Some of the ideas can get pretty crazy!) The latest was a flame-thrower made by our cousin, Brandon.

P.S. It's not as dangerous as it looks...honest!

Blizzard! 

 We have been having so much fun with a blizzard that came through yesterday! It started to snow close to noon, and kept getting thicker. Then the wind picked up, and today we have plenty of drifts and snow piles!

This is when the snow first started.

This morning, we woke up and found everything packed with snow! There are

 plenty of drifts and snow piles to sled down, build tunnels in, and so on. :-) 

Craig, clearing snow and making more piles!

Looks tempting, doesn't it? Well...!

Brady loves to build tunnels under the drifts.

Look how big that drift is!

Our dog, Trixie, loves the snow. She's very playful this time of year!

Colby, age 4, is old enough to enjoy the snow this year!

Here are some shots that I got this morning. 

The snow makes everything so beautiful!

         Not to us, O Lord, not to us
        but to your name be the glory, 
          because of your love and faithfulness. 

^{Psalm 115:1}

^{Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God,} 

^{you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.} 

^{Psalm 104:1}

^{God is so great! I am always amazed by His beauty and wisdom in all that He created.}

^{May the Christmas season fill you with joy for all He has done!}
