The Blizzard of 2010...Round One

The snow started falling on Friday and it kept falling and falling - 2 feet of snow fell!  Saturday we bundled up and headed outside into the winter wonderland.  It was absolutely amazing and beautiful!  We actually took a walk in the middle of the street and pulled Judah along on the sled.  We spent the afternoon playing in the snow and then went in to warm up with hot chocolate and cartoons. 

How fun to be snowed in with my two favorite boys in the whole world!

Later that afternoon we also had an impromptu sleepover - there were several people in our area without power because of the storm.  Morgan and Phil (Restoration Church) lost their power so they came and stayed the weekend with us - such a fun way to enjoy a blizzard. Praise the Lord that we had power!

Now we are getting ready for part two...bring on the snow! 

Bring on the Snow!

Groceries...check. New Sled....check. My Boys...check.  18-24 inches of Snow...working on it right now! 

This morning Judah and I got out in the chaos of the major snow storm preparations to find a sled.  It was a crazy adventure but we were successful in our mission.  The Knight family has a new sled to use in the massive amounts of snow coming our way.  Actually, I don't think that Judah cares if the sled ever makes it to the snow...he had a great time being pulled on it up and down the hall way!

Well, we are ready for the snow and for a fun family weekend of being snowed in together!  Here are some pictures from the snow the other day...

Girls Night - Baby Gable's Baby Shower

On Friday night Restoration Church had it's first baby shower - it was such a special time that I just had to blog about it!  Some precious ladies got together to celebrate the fast approaching arrival of Baby Gable or as Morgan and Phil affectionately refer to as Noodle.  We were able to fellowship, pray, laugh and praise the Lord for life.  I am so thankful for the ladies of Restoration Church - I love you all!

Will Noodle be a boy or girl?  We will just have to wait to find out! No matter what one thing is for certain ...Morgan is going to be a fantastic mom.  I am so excited that she will be added to the stay-at-home mommy club...not to mention that she lives super close to a Chick-fil-a = many mommy-and-me lunches!

Precious Sisters in Christ who are truly making DC feel more like home everyday! 

I am so thankful to the Lord and my cup overflows!

Body Paint

Lately Judah has gotten a real kick out of drawing on himself!  He is quite the Picasso of body art :) Hoping to distract from the ink pen on the skin I decided to reintroduce bathtub finger paint.  The fingerpaint lasted about a minute being used on the side of the tub until he realized that he could smear it all over himself.  What fun we had!  I think that the bathtub still has a slight red tint to it but that is ok.  Have a great Friday!

Wordless Wednesday - The Big Apple

Seven Years

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.

Psalm 34:3

Seven years ago yesterday (January 24th) Nathan and I were married!  On Friday night Judah hung out with the Crafts and my sweetheart and I went out to dinner to spend some time together talking and reflecting on the past years together - what a sweet seven years...memories both wonderful and hard shared together and hopefully all to the glory of the Lord.  Psalm 34:3 was the verse that we used for our wedding and it is still the prayer of our hearts...thank you Lord for your grace it is because of You that we celebrate our life together.
