This has been an absolutely bizzare winter for us on so many different levels. First, the weather. This is Texas and snow is supposed to be a rare treat here. Not this year. This year winter began with snowfall and ended with snowfall and then had about two or three more snowfall days in between. Is that bad? NO! My kids actually got to experience the fun, flaky white stuff that is great to play in without us having to go on vacation.
This winter also began and ended with health issues for the family. It began on New Year's Eve when Henry fell off my parents trampoline and broke his collar bone. It ended with Bethany fighting a high grade fever for most of a week because a virus thought she would be a good host. In between there we have been fighting one sickness or another thus making it very difficult for us to participate in park days, field trips and fun outtings because we might expose others.
We did have some fun times that will be posted in later blogs of 2 field trips, snow days, and genral fun times. We are definitely looking foward to spring and all that has to offer; warmer, longer days, baseball games, park days, field trips. I love watching the earth come back to life after winter, the new green shoots of grass and fresh bud of leaves on the trees. Not to mention the beautiful flowers that we should be seeing in the next couple of weeks.
Thank you God for every beautiful day that you give us whether they be filled with hardship or happiness.
