When we left church on Sunday, the white stuff was coming down hard. The roar from the kids leaving primary was deafening. Because I grew up in it, snow for me is not that exciting. But for my kids, even a few snowflakes give them great joy. They went outside right after church and danced around in it. At one point Charlotte and Lydia sat on the front porch, just watching it come down. Sadly, it didn't last (as it never does here in Oregon) but it was so fun to see their pure happiness! Days like this, I wish we lived in a place that got just a bit more snow. But, then I recall trying to drive in it, trying to walk in it, and shoveling it, and I remember why I like living here!
