Snow Crazy

If you ever want to feel like a kid again go jump in the snow! My girls and I were driving home on a beautiful day and I thought what the hey. So we got bundled up and headed out. I towed them up and down our street, threw snow balls at them and took some pics. Two hours later and a lot of "snow cones" they finally wanted to come in. That was so awesome I can't wait till they snowboard (but by then they will probably be too cool for mom). Oh well we had fun for now.
My little Elle was having a sweet snow picnic.

Updated

Thank you all who have commented. I got some news. My next little one could take some more time getting here. I got pregnant so fast, too fast I guess, I am no longer prego. But I know my children will come. So with that, thanks again.

On a lighter note, I have two little chicks to keep me busy. Yesterday we played in the snow for two hours. We made a lop-sided snowman and tried sledding without a hill (doesn't work that well). Maybe in a couple more years we will refine the art of snow play. We had a blast! Love my girls!

A Mother

Well, after 7+ years of trying to get pregnant, adopting our little angel Mae, 9 months and 10 days later having sweet Elle. Elle is now 2 1/2 and we are please to announce after 1 month of trying we are pregnant again! That just goes to show how important it was that we have our daughter Mae. Every time I think of how sweet she is, the blessing she is to us, I think about her birth mother "Katie". I am so grateful to her that she had the wisdom at such a young age to sacrifice her own feelings to give Mae a better life. Not because Katie couldn't love her, or wouldn't give her things. But gave Mae instead a mother, a father, a little sister and now another child who will love her. We can not imagine our lives without her. All this because one girl let herself grow in ways we will never understand. That is what I think about when I am pregnant. I am so grateful for the love of a young mother who changed our family.
