Snowed In!!

Today was a wonderful day! Even though I have just been up for about an hour snuggling my sick little Khloe, I feel so joyful! (Maybe it's because as I sat with Khloe, I watched a neighbor shovel out his car for over an hour! And I was so thankful to be inside!) There's just something about snow!! Usually being stuck inside on a Saturday afternoon is something I hate, but today it was glorious! 

We were awoken at 7am with our precious Korinne yelling "it's snowing, it's snowing! mommy, mommy, daddy, daddy, the snow!!" Then my hubby made us all some of his yummy vanilla pancakes! (which is good old Aunt Jemima mix with a half a capful of vanilla mixed in.) After that Korinne wanted to go out in the snow, so we bundled the girls up in snow pants, and snow boots, and winter coats, and mittens...... and within 2 minutes they were done! They love snow when they can watch it while warm and toasty inside! :) 

While the girls took a nap Kevin and I made lunch together! There is nothing like grilled cheese and tomato soup on a cold, snowy day! We got to eat alone, and have a midday date while the girls napped!

Then we did something a little bittersweet, we went through all of our baby things. It is still hard for me to come to terms with not being able to have more children. I am holding on to the hope that maybe this is just for a season. Maybe at some point, in a few years, my body will be strong enough to handle another pregnancy. If not, I am eternally grateful for the two beautiful daughters I have! Every outfit we packed has memories, so, of course, I had to tell the story as we folded, and sorted! Of course I couldn't part with their "home from the NICU" outfits, but everything else is moving on to a new home, where it can make new memories for a new baby girl, and a new family! We have been so blessed, and what greater blessing is there, then to pass on the blessing to someone else??

We finished our perfect day watching my new favorite Disney movie, Ratatouille! So cute! 

And now, it's time for bed! Maybe our street will be plowed tomorrow.... Although I can't help but hope it's not, so we can spend another perfect day snowed in! 

Thank you, Father, for this wonderful blessing of snow today.
