As you’ve probably heard on the news, We’ve been going through a blizzard! According to the newcasts it’s the most snow we’ve seen since the mid 90’s. I moved to Iowa in 95 and have never seen so much snow! It’s been great though. A day of relaxation as the entire city was pretty much closed today! I was able to clean home, cook, spend time with Nehe in the snow and take a nap! I havn’t had that much rest in a long time. Thank you Jesus for sending us some snow and giving us a day of much needed rest!
I wanted to share some photos that I was able to take today to give you an idea of how much snow we are experiencing.
This has been one of the greatest experiences for me. Seeing the joy of snow through a child’s eye. I grew up in California where we never had snow. When I moved to Iowa I was almost 17 and playing in snow was just not cool, lol! So I never had that childhood experience of looking forward to snow days and snowmen, forts and snowball fights. It was so much fun just being able to enjoy the snow with my son. I Can’t wait for more snow days!
So this was our terrible blizzard of ’09! Not so terrible to me 😉
oh wow poor lil chickens! but fun for the kiddies great snaps congrats on being on Oprah.com
cool
I miss the snow!
Amazing! Like you, I'm not used to a lot of snow here, that's why I love it!
This looks so awesome! i am driving to Oh in a wk. and I hope the kids get to see snow!
You are so lucky to have fresh eggs! That is so so so fantastic!
Yea! I'm a winner. Thanks, Diana. Oprah…very exciting! I like "the girls" (someday we will be in the country and have girls, too). I cooked on Wed, too.(Goetta for an egg dish on Sat. and beef Stroganof for dinner) Love the snow (reminds me of MN) Plow finally went by at 6:30am Thurs.
I am soooo glad we don't have any chickens to deal with this winter. Our barn is blocked by a HUGE drift and I am not missing slogging all the way out there morning and evening, in below zero windchills, to feed and water! Now if I had a dogsled…. maybe then. ha-ha!
Glad you had fun with Nehe!
Blessings,
Amy
I love cold weather but without the snow…I remember when I visited Lebanon the snow cause me headaches 🙂
Nehe is so cute 😀
Lovely snow pictures! Boston typically gets tons of snow, and we recently had our first snowfall, although not nearly as much as you! 🙂 Enjoy the snow. I always love snows days. There's something really nice about being "stuck" at home with the family and just enjoying the snowfall outside while relaxing at home. I love it (as long as I don't need to drive!)
Hello,

How fun! It looks like your kids are having an incredible time! Snow can be so magical!
I love the pictures!!!Thanks for sharing.
I've been to ski mountain in New Zealand. No fun at all caused I've never get to learn how to ski and my bud fall sick after many times of falling & tripping! hahaha…. I was so frustrated and sang out loud. Everybody looking at me in funny faces! haha….
Btw, love all the shots. Just amazing! Poor chicken, guess they'll have to stay indoor till it's over huh!
What a snow! Cute snowy boy.
What a bounty from those chickens!
