Day 30: My Winter Wonderland

-
According to the pictures I have been seeing and the stories I have been reading about the midwest this week, our winter wonderland is well... nothing!  The weather has turned beautiful and we are so thankful.  So, our winter wonderland looks like 60 degree temperatures outside with the sun shining.  I even wore a t-shirt when I went on a walk.  No complaints, but I have seen pictures on Facebook from the lady who bought our house of our backyard and it certainly made me miss Pike Creek Blvd and the snow.

We took advantage of our winter weather and took our boys outside on Friday.  The boys rode their bikes a long way and had a blast!!

Andrew has gotten so good at his big bike.


They took a break on their ride to scare off some big birds.  They both would tip toe as close as they could and then growl at them.  The birds were big and I was slightly afraid that their would be a repeat of "Birds" movie, but thankfully no!

This is their mean scaring bird faces!  Birds don't stand a chance with faces like these.

Hap carried Jacob on his back while we walked with the boys.  Jacob enjoys riding in the backpack carrier!

It was such a fun time together enjoying our winter wonderland:)

So you think you miss the snow, huh? Well it is beautiful here with the ground covered white, but 60 and sunshine ain't too shabby! The boys are growing up, riding their bikes and going longer distances. Looks like great fun. So glad the family had a good outing on your winter day. Love, Dad and Mom

Busy Couple Days

We have had a busy couple days trying to get everything together for our trip. My mother came over the end of last week and it has been so helpful. I have been able to do errands and gather our needed supplies for the trip. I haven't taken many pictures but we have had a fun time and the boys have enjoyed their time as well. Friday we did the majority of our packing and tonight we are going to finish up. Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at a playground in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom and Sam went to see Toy Story 3 (his first big screen movie) while Hap, Andrew and myself went to a birthday party. Sam got these glasses pictured below at Wendy's yesterday and we might try and see if security stops him in the airport:) This evening we had our last team meeting and it was a wonderful time of praying and sharing about what God has been teaching us as we prepare for this trip. We know that it seems odd to some that we would take our children literally half way around t...

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
