From Afar…

…enjoyment through photos. These are photos our kids took (Laura) while spending time together in snowy Colville. I loved seeing the fun in the snow and happy faces from this side of the mountains where rain persists with no snow.

I think she likes her ride.

Hey mom, why can’t I move my legs?!

Our first born with his love.

Our second born with his favorite girls.

Our youngest with her love.

All of our favorites in one photo! Thankful for each one of them.

Awesome mama and our little delightful granddaughter.

The snow angel!

The early morning snow warriors.

I’m a grateful mom and baba for this time our kids had together. Addy got re-acquainted with her aunts and uncles. Now I’m praying for safe journeys home for Josh, Laura, Andrew and Katie.

Meanwhile back at the ranch (this old house) and at Mennonite Girls Can Cook I posted a One-skillet steak meal for two. Enjoy.

Happy President’s Day!

Snow!

Snow started falling last night at about 9pm and when we got up this morning our neighborhood was covered in a blanket of snow. Rain is in the forecast so we know the snow won’t last for long. Snow is a major event in the Seattle area and everyone is talking about it and sharing photos on social media even though only a few inches has fallen.

I managed to do all the Christmas decorating I’m going to do except for our tree yesterday. The tree will wait until next week.

This was taken last night before our first party of the season and before our guests arrived. We were able to send everyone off after a fun dinner and before the snow started falling. I’ll share more of the inside of this old house decorated for Christmas in a later post. Quote of the night during dinner last night, “My mom was a great cook, she could take the taste out of any food.” We were all laughing so hard.

Have a good weekend everyone!
