More snow....

More pictures of the snow! It is already mostly melted, but it was fun while it lasted.

Henry made this snowman for Carson.  He watched out over things all day.

This is a sign in front of our local hardware store. I think they made some good money on sleds today.

Our house looking cold.

It is fun snow...very fluffy...I think this looks like cotton.

The bug looking chilly...

SNOW!!!

I know we are terrible bloggers,  but the last few weeks have been VERY busy.

I suppose I just needed a SNOW day to catch up!!!

Here is what I saw when I looked out the back door...

And the view out the front...

Judging by the railing on our porch, it looks like about 2 inches, but it is still snowing and will most of today!

Fun, fun! 

Peace, Emily

A fun New Years...

We decided that we would really love to be with friends for New Years, so we called Laura and Ryan Jensen...friends from seminary... to see if we could invite ourselves down for a visit. They agreed and we had a fantastic time. We bundled up on New Years Eve and went downtown to see what all the buzz about the Moon Pie over Mobile was all about. It wasn't amazing, but it did cause buzz for the city so that is good.

This is especially funny because I really don't like moon pies at all! Apparently they throw them from floats at Mardi Gras in Mobile.

That dot in the middle is the moon pie. I think it said 2009 when it hit midnight.

The Jensens in awe of the lit up moon pie.

On New Years Day we made a feast of fried shrimp and fried oyster po boys. I use the term "we" loosely as Ryan did almost all of the cooking. I'm not sure why I was even standing by the oven to be honest. He also made fried pickles and Laura made homemade cole slaw. It was all delicious!

Happy New Year to you all... a special hello to my family who are all in Sante Fe for an exciting celebration. Lots of love to Jenny and Elizabeth! Peace, Emily
