Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Walk in the Snow

We started a second snowman and then bedtime came, so his bottom got rolled to the front of the first snowman. It made for a good step up for the kids to be eye level with the snowman.

We got a couple more inches overnight, which made for a very snowy walk after we woke up the next morning.  The snow was so beautiful with the sun making everything sparkle and glisten.

We had to pause our walk so the kids could make snow angels.

Hard to photograph snow angels when the sun is so bright.

The branches on the pine trees were all pointing South.  Owen had fun shaking them and getting covered in their falling snow.

Dylan was impatient with all of the steps the kids wanted to make on our walk.  When Little Horse goes for a walk, he is intent on WALKING.  No dilly-dallying!

Owen is shaking one of the really tall pine trees to make the snow fall off the top branches.

Don't they look like they are on a mission?  Little Explorers with their sticks.  Of course what this picture (and all the others) is missing is the excessive whining and crying from the girl child because she was freezing.  She snuck out of the house without wearing socks, so the snow was freezing off her little pigs.  And she refused to keep her sock gloves on, so her fingers were raw from playing in the snow.  Poor Bean.

Owen was preparing to eat the snowman's face.

See? He builds a snowman up so nice and then he tears him down, one mouthful at a time!
