Playing in the rain!

Yesterday morning we awoke to the most amazing sight … RAIN!!  It’s been awhile since we’ve seen any substantial rainfall so it was almost as if we were waking up on Christmas morning.  We were that excited!

The kids (well, two of them anyway) immediately asked if they could go out and play in the rain which led to them having a blast prancing around the yard with and without umbrellas in hand.  Such fun!

Psalm 135:7 … He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth.  He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses.

Building “Frosty”

No White Christmas for us this year.  But, we did get a few inches of snow a few days after.  And since Joel is off this work this week, the five of us headed out to play.  Well, actually four headed out to play with snow while one went out to play with her camera!  The snow players eventually sucked her into their fun, however, and the result was the biggest snowman we’ve ever built!

Since we haven’t had a lot of snow yet this winter, we’re all hoping for much, much more (just not when I have to drive in it!).  That’s not too much to ask, is it?
