This is a video for my Sweetheart, and our wonderful parents. Anyone else is welcome to enjoy it also. Tell me what you think! HAPPY VALENTINE”S DAY!  –Chris

We awoke this morning to a winter wonderland! It’s so, so beautiful! Chris said today was worthy of a vacation day, so this morning we went sledding in our back yard. (Our backyard is a great hill! Videos to come in another post!). We built a snowman and played!!!

Oh and here’s a funny for you. I took the kids out yesterday and showed them how to throw snowballs. So when Savannah finally got the courage to throw one, I said, “Throw it at my leg!”. She said, “No, I don’t want to.” I said, “Ok, throw it at my coat!” She said, “No, I want to throw it at your face!”. To protect myself, I told her that wasn’t very nice. :) Phew!

Well, my dad summed it up as he and mom were heading out for home this morning. “This was a successful trip! Sarah got lots of loot, the Saints won the Superbowl, and I got to spend the weekend playing with my grandkids!”

It was a great weekend!!! The Lord blessed my sister with a wonderful baby shower, multiplying to her beyond what I could have hoped! Thank you friends and family! Thank you Target for great sales at the right time, and thank you Father, most of all!

And after 30 something years of watching the Saints, wonder of wonders, they made it to the Superbowl and WON!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!

So last night, I wondered…is it wrong to be excited about such a temporal thing? And of all things to actually pray that they would win? Well, I don’t know, but to God be the glory, may He shed His grace on New Orleans, and may it rise from the flood of sin and depression that has held it down and experience true revival. God is a God of miracles!

Upon seeing my neatly folded laundry all in an unfolded heap, the conversation went like this:

Mommy (pointing to the pile): Savannah, did you do that?

Savannah: Yes!

Mommy (very disappointedly): Oh, Savannah…

Savannah: Atchuawy, Bu-yee did it! (Actually, Buddy did it!)

Savannah got a camera for Christmas – a real one that takes real pictures! So here is a glimpse into our holidays from Savannah’s point of view (and who ever else may have picked the pink camera up). Enjoy!
