Cousin Robby is Coming!!

We're so excited!! Uncle Johnny, Aunt Jenette and cousin Robby are on their way!! Alan and Sarah are excited to talk to Uncle Johnny in Spanish with all the spanish they've learned in school. Kaitlyn asks every day, "Is Robby coming today?" We're all happy they're coming.

One last post about the snow

So, here's a tribute to the snow that is now gone. We haven't had snow on the ground in 7 years here. We'll probably be moved away from here before it snows like this again. Some people at church said they've never seen this much snow. That's just sad.

More snow pictures...

Well, these aren't the best pictures, because I had to use my cell phone camera. Tom was making the treacherous trek from Arkansas to here with our camera yesterday. (He finally got home at 6:30 pm having traveled 12 hours through snow and ice on a trip that should've taken him only 8 hrs.) All added up, it snowed from 8:00am until 4:30pm. We got 5 inches. We would've had more, but it was in the mid 30's by the afternoon, and the snow was melting as it was falling.
Here's our front walkway with snow falling.
Here's the backyard view from our play room window.
Here's the road just turning off of our street. It was so pretty, I had to take this picture as we were on our way to church. Yes, we went to church, but we only had Sacrament meeting because it was still snowing so hard.

Here's the view looking out from our front door over our bushes toward the neighbor's house.

This is our deck and little fire pit thingy.

Beautiful trees and bushes from our Family Room window.

Snow in the South...

Ok, I'm serious, the high yesterday was 72 degrees here. You can check weather.com. But today, it has now been snowing/sleeting for an hour and we have an inch of snow on the ground. This is the first time my kids have ever seen snow accumulate on the ground here. Well, except for 7 years ago when Alan and Sarah were babies, so they don't remember that. We're so excited.

It's Sunday morning, and we're just watching to see if it will get so deep that they'll call off church in two hours. I hope not because I'm excited about the primary sharing time lesson I'm teaching today. Even if they don't call off church, I don't think anyone will come. That would be sad, because I want to teach my lesson. :(

So, here's a picture of a miniature snowman Alan made on our deck, and the snow on our bushes in the front yard.... And it's still snowing really hard.
