More Reno. Progress!

We've had a bit of a hold-up on the renovation the last few months. The cold weather has set us back as well as a few electrical issues. But nonetheless we are persevering with the help of our gracious God and are making progress yet again. We have been doing some more painting as well as laying flooring downstairs.

Please continue to keep us and our future home in your prayers. We are really hoping to move in within the next few months (emphasis on "hoping"). Our neighbors across the street having been keeping watch over the house for us, it has been awesome seeing how the Lord is already working a friendship there. We are ready to move into our neighborhood and build on the relationships we have there.

Lots and Lots of Snow!

It started snowing last night and within an hour the entire ground was white! But then we woke to this, about 7 to 9 inches of snow! The girls had so much fun! We spent the entire morning outside! And to make things even sweeter, we have our niece Maddie staying with us, so she was able to enjoy it too!

9 AM and ready to play!!!!!!

It was a struggle for the littlest girls to walk in the snow.

This was Lili's first "real" snow.

She had to taste it :)

How much fun we've all had! It's been great playing together all day and then warming up by the fire with hot chocolate :)

Maddie had alot of fun too.

We tried something a little different than a sled......

it didn't work so great.

So we made our way to the edge of the yard...

and did this instead. It was alot easier for the girls to walk and we got to visit with our neighbors.

Us girls having fun in the snow!

Mike and I were engaged in Alaska, of course we love this weather!

Lili following her daddy...

There's a beautiful stretch of woods behind the house...perfect for a nature walk.

I really should get this child a pet....

This is one snowball fight I will not get in the middle of!

And then of course, the snowman!

well, actually snowgirl :)

Our snowgirl, snowbaby, and snowpup. War Eagle!
