In this week's episode...

Xavier says, "I love shoveling. More snow, please!"
Then, Tilly helps out.

And when the work is done...




And later still...Tilly discovers the glory of the Drumstick. "Thanks Uncle Donny!"

(We had a lovely snow day here. Hope you all are well too!)

The joys of cold things! I remember them so well from growing up in the snow belt in Rockford (which is why I skedaddled to Texas and Louisiana). And Tilly and I share a love of those fabulous drumsticks. I wish I could send you up some warm weather so you could go outside without having to shovel. On the other hand, you seem to have taught the young ones well to do your shoveling and have fun at it.

Keep warm and full of love and the joys of each other,
Chris

Are YOUR children the reason that we keep having snow? Please, make them stop! Even their happy faces makes me wish spring would come soon!!

Could you send Xavier over? We're a little behind on the shoveling. Tell him we'll pay him in pizza and organic milk. :)

Such great photos!

Oh, the Kanzanians are not jealous of you for once. We greatly appreciate that you have accepted all the snow with open arms and it has (for the most part) zipped on by and gone northeast. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We did have a little surprize snow last night but it supposed to go up to 55, so it won't last. It was really pretty falling though and we thought of you all as we sat by the roaring fire. Enjoy it all for us though as we keep a look out for spring. I think I saw some tulips and irises attempting to break through and I know the buds are on the Bradford Pear tree. It won't be long!!!God bless to all. We love you.:)

So glad to hear that you made it through the last round of treatments - and glad to see those newly found hats & mittens put to good use!

Our prayers continue to be with you - and remember, Easter is just around the corner!

With love,

What would a winter wonder land be without a little chocolate and dirty snow? Nice to see you are teaching the children some good old fashioned North Eastern sensibilities.

By the way Tilly, save some of theos drumsticks for Uncle Greg. He loves the ones with the chocolate center. The cousins will eat any ice cream--except onion. (And if you put chocolate sauce on it, they might even eat that too. Lots of love, Kansas

What wonderful pictures of the kids! And believe it or not, I'm missing New England more than ever. Despite the effort to get all the kids dressed, and to actually find all the gear, those snow moments are priceless! We did finally have some snow this week, and the boys were thrilled and even helped to shovel our neighbors driveway. Of course, it melted by the next morning but hot chocolate always tastes better after playing out in the snow!

We are so glad to hear you weren't too sick with this round. You are in our thoughts and prayers always. Oh, and thank Tilly for reminding me that ice cream in Feb. is a great way to cheer everyone up from cabin fever! Lots of love!
Christina and family

This morning I did think of one good thing about newly fallen snow. You can check around your house to see if there are footprints and then you know if you have prowlers.

I know that sounds like of paranoid but I AM kind of paranoid.

I'm happy to report that we don't have any prowlers.

Hey, was that you, Aimee on Simcha's Caucuses? There can't be too many Aimees that spell their name your way.;)

So, is tomorrow the day for your next test? I'm experiencing missing time!!
