Fresh Air

It was a beautiful day today. And by beautiful, I mean it didn't rain! YAY! If our weatherman is correct, we will wind up with 27 days of recordable rain fall this month . . . blech! I don't think I'm cut out for the Pacific Northwest ;) It was a whopping 56 degrees and overcast, but I'll take that over the constant drizzle any day.

So . . . we headed outdoors to enjoy it.

Kam

Little Miss Kam enjoyed picking flowers and swinging.

Sis

There was climbing . . .

Sis2

and sliding.

Lunch

And then we got hungry for lunch. So we moved our patio table and chairs to our back porch, and enjoyed lunch out there for the first time. I can't wait for warm summer evenings and family dinners together out there. Sigh.

Lunch2

The girls had a ball.
Kam was introduced to clinking glasses and shouting, "cheers!"

Kam2

And she couldn't get enough of it.

It was a good day.

Oh, and Happy Anniversary to me and hubs {he had to work today, frown }
Nine years.
My how time flies!

Snow Day!

So . . . I'm kind of ready for spring. But it appears that Mother Nature has other ideas.

This morning the girls were a little more than excited to wake up to this:

SnowDay4

It didn't take long for them to haul out the snow bibs, mittens, hats, coats, and boots . . .

SnowDay5

. . . and settle in to some fun with the white stuff.


SnowDay11

My little budding photographer. Sierra always has her camera with her. I love it :)

SnowDay6

Kam was immediately intrigued by the snow.

SnowDay10

Hmmm, what can I do with this stuff?

SnowDay7

A little taste perhaps?

SnowDay9

Ick!

SnowDay8

After an hour or so of traipsing through the "forest", making snow angels, and other such fun, we were ready to go inside . . .

SnowDay3

and enjoy some hot cocoa.

{And y'all can refrain from commenting on how grown up Kam looks in this photo, k? Where did my baby go???}

SnowDay

Oh, but before I go . . . see this? This house here . . .

It's finished.

We're just waiting on a heat vent or two, a couple of inspections, and {oh yeah} the appraisal to come back.

Prayers for all of the above {actually, no need to pray about heating vents, lol!} are always greatly appreciated. I probably don't have to mention what a stressful time this is for us as we await a whole bunch of decisions that we have very little control over.

Give it to God. Give it to God.

I'm really trying.
