3 days of snow!


















Our snow last week ended up getting Sissy out of 3 school days! :) It was a much needed break and so nice to be home for a couple of days, enjoying hot cocoa and snow! The kids all had a BLAST in the snow and played with our neighbors a bunch throughout the snow days. They stayed out in the snow for a LONG TIME, too! It's all melted now and it's back to the typical schedule. Of course, I have spirit this week, so it's been another fun and relaxed week for me!

Obviously, Au*burn won last week and there was a lot of celebrating here! I'm not sure if I ever posted on here, but I am for sure going there and I'm so excited!!!! I sent my housing and deposit in back in Oct. so I'm feeling ready... for the time being at least! I did get into Bay*lor, too, and I'm still waiting to hear back from one other school... but either way, I'll be at AU next year! So anyway, that is the reason for all of the Au*burn gear around here!

Everything is going well here. I know I've been so neglectful of the blog lately. All of the kids are doing well, although keeping Mom very busy! AnnaClaire and Gracie are loving doing basketball, and Kate recently started dance and absolutely loves putting her leotard and ballet slippers on and going to dance every Friday! Charlie's just our typical little guy... always getting dirty and into trouble, but still so sweet and has a smile that really will melt anyone's heart!

I just knew you were going to be going to Auburn! Congratulations! That's absolutely fantastic. I'm still waiting to hear from my schools, I have about 2 months to go so it's a long wait!

It feels like we've barely been in school this year! We had a four day week, a three day week with 2 snow days, a four day week this week (because of MLK) that turned into a 3 day week with a snow day today! It's going to be so hard to go back to a real week of school! One of the (only) privileges of being a senior is not having to make the days up!

Your siblings are absolutely adorable and I love reading about them and you!

Love all the pics!! It looks like so much fun!!
You are so lucky that it melts. It doesn't leave us until March and then who knows more could come- ugh from a parents point of view!

Glad you got a few days off!! How fun to have neighborhood friends to play with!

Congrats in your college choice! College is wonderful- they will miss you at home but love you even more when they get to see you!!

Great snow pics! Mine aren't great b/c I didn't want to go outside and took many from the back door!

PLEASE tell your Mom that I am *certain* that our house is on the way to Auburn and she can stop in here anytime! I'll even put her/your family up in our camper LOL!

Hey there! I just came across your Chenzhou blog,(which is great for the girls I think by the way) and wanted to see if you had any contacts with any more Chenzhou families. This summer I am getting the chance to go on mission to Chenzhou, and I am still needing people for my team! If you all are interested, or know anyone that might be, please let me know. We are going through visiting orphans and you can find out more details on their site. Take care!
