First Snow!

Today was the first snow we've seen. It was actually fun to see. The Canadians I was with at the time weren't so thrilled, but it was such a cold, dreary day that the snow improved things a bit. And it was just kind of exciting. So these photos are supposed to be of the boys standing in the snow. Of course, I now see that you can't even see the snow in the pictures, but trust me, it's there. I'm posting the pictures anyway cause they're just plain cute.

We went on a walk tonight and when we got home the deck was icy. Our thermometer says 0 right now. (Don't worry, that's 32 Fahrenheit.) But I just looked at the 10-day forecast and it's supposed to get up into the 50s midweek. And sunny!

Today we got to eat lunch at Kendra's with Derek and Elise and little Scotty and Marvin and Yvonne and Rachel who works at the hospital with Kendall. It was fun to have people to eat with. We had a relaxing afternoon then forced ourselves to get off our butts and go on a walk before supper. We went to the place where Kendall grew up and walked back in the bush behind his house. It was nice to take the boys back there. Then we came home and made soft pretzels with Kendra. Don and Marilyn Showalter are staying upstairs right now so we invited them as well. Aside from a bloody lip, poopy pants and a nasty scrape (all sustained by- but not all inflicted by- Evan), we had a good evening.

Kendall works nights this week starting tomorrow night. He's all excited because he's staying up late tonight. He wants to be tired enough to take a nap tomorrow afternoon. :) We'll see how this goes. I'm mostly looking forward to it. At least he'll be around for supper and most of the evening. He'll sleep in one of the bedrooms upstairs during the day. He works Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Then he has a training Friday during the day and will go along moose hunting all day Thursday.

So there you have it- a summary of our day and of the week to come. Just be glad I left out the gory details. And hopefully the week to come will have fewer gory details than the week behind us had. I'll just say it was not the most shiningest week of our married life.

So we start the new week with hope.
