Ode to Snow No. 2

Snow, oh snow, off to Maryland did we go.
Thoughts of not seeing you for a year filled us with glee,
go figure we'd move here & it's record snowfall for DC!

...So we thought we had seen the most MD had to offer as far as snow went - we were told it would maybe snow a couple times and even then wouldn't stick around for that long - yesterday we got about 25-28 inches in 24 hours!! This is literally an all time record for the DC area. And I can only remember maybe 1 time in the 11+ years we've lived in MN seeing this much snow fall at once.

Friday was Nate's last day of class until the 4th, so most of our friends were heading out that afternoon to drive to their destinations or were flying out the next day for the holiday. It was great for us, the storm started late Friday and we don't leave for AZ till Thurs, so it was perfect hunker-down-with-the-fam-cozy-in-the-house weather. For those traveling, some had to turn around and come back or were stranded on their way. All flights were cancelled and rescheduled for Sunday. Church was even cancelled this morning! God is sovereign over ALL things including the weather, and I am eager to hear our friend's testimonies of how that all came into play with their trips and how God met them even through the delays.

Here are some pics I shot while out with Sophie, it was literally up to her waist - Chason didn't come out cause he would have literally been up to his neck in snow, lol! 4 more days and it's AZ or bust - 6 hour flight leaving at 6:50am (meaning we have to leave our house at 4:30am!!) - reminding myself "God is sovereign over ALL things", even flights like this with 3 kids :). I'm sure I will be blogging about that upon my recovery, ha!

  1. That's some serious snow, but Sophie looks more than happy :) Glad to hear you made it through the "blizzard of '09" with God's grace. Hope you guys have a great trip out west and an even better Christmas! Love you!
