SNOW AND MORE SNOW

PTL for this van! A huge THANK YOU to all who have given to the car fund. We were able to rent this van for a year. It has been a blessing especially in all this snow. It sure beats walking in the snow and waiting a the bus stops in the snow with the kids.

This is our neighborhood covered in snow.

The kids are not stopped by the cold. They where taking off their coats and saying it was hot when it got to 41 degrees. They have adjusted very well. Everyone says this has been a mild winter. I can hardly imagine it being any colder than 5 degrees and surviving.

Warm in our beds and reading has to be one our most favorit times of the day.

Cousins II

So the story is that my cousin Becca and her family live here in the same country as we do just one hour flight away or a 12 hour drive. She and her family came to us in Dec. so that she could have her fourth child here in our larger city where there is more medical care. The fourth cousin arrived just 2 weeks ago. Today we took them to the airport to fly home. We are going to miss them sooo much and it has been wonderful getting to know them. I do not think it was chance that we were in the same country.

Here is our airport
