snowy day




 
 We have been hoping for a huge snow since we have moved here. The only week I didn't want that snow was this week. Oh, God surely knows what He is doing, but oh my. We were supposed to close on our new home today, but it was moved until tomorrow due to the snow storm. I had great plans to paint the bedrooms before we moved in, but it will still get done. The boys have seen snow so many times this year (only one other time in large quantity) that it doesn't really phase them. They did enjoy going outside and sledding. When they went out in the morning, it was snowing so hard and the wind was blowing so much that they didn't last long. We went out later in the afternoon and they threw snowballs at each other and had a blast. It was amazing how much the snow melted. We estimated around 12 inches of snow fell. And we lost power for 5 hours. We were literally on the way out the door to stay at a hotel in Roanoke when the power came back on.
