We return to our Asian home via Thailand, where we'll spend a bit of time at our mid-year conference. High temps in Bangkok are about 90 degrees, today's high here was 2. I'm not really sure how our bodies are going to handle that one!
It'll be a while before we see snow like this, so it's fun to get outside and play. It only takes about 15 minutes for me to get everyone's gear on :) But once we're dressed, we stay warm and have lots of adventures. Julianna and Lydia love to spot animal tracks in the snow (mostly rabbits and squirrels).
Even snow shoveling is fun for little girls with no expectations or time restrictions....
The swing has about an inch of clearance on top of the snow - and the snow is packed enough that the kids can walk right on top of it and have a seat in the swing. It looks pretty silly, with the swing hovering right on top of the snow, but they enjoy it :)
When the snow gives way the kids sink to their waist - and it's pretty tricky to climb out of that kind of hole! Maybe that's why Lydia's got such a determined look on her face!
The other day we went out for a walk and stopped to check the mail out front of Grandma and Grandpa's house...
Fun times! And big changes on the horizon. Not only is the temperature going to climb 90 degrees, but in the next month we move to a new apartment in a new city with new schools, new friends, new neighborhoods, new stores, new almost-everything. Wow. It's a lot to try to digest, so I am taking it one day at a time! [Our belongings are already at our new location - about 500 miles north of where we used to live. Our stuff left on a moving truck a few days before we flew to America last summer, and was unloaded into our new place after we were settled here in the States. Think we'll have a smidge of work to do as we get settled?!?!]

I understand the taking it one day at a time thing. It's going to be my motto the next year!
