Ice/Snow Storm

Meg Riding our sled

Crashing and spinning into each other

The sled my dad refurbished for Ansley & Elisabeth for Christmas.  In the right conditions this thing can fly!

Getting read to sled down the hill

Coming back up the hill for another ride

They put 4 or 5 sleds together (8 people total) and had a sled train going down the hill.  Pretty funny to watch!

Our cul-de-sac before anyone came out to play this morning

Me riding the sled........it goes fast and is hard to stop!

Our street early this morning. Not much snow.....mainly ice.

Between the time we went to bed last night and 6 am this morning we had some snow and sleet in Fort Mill.  There wasn't much snow but because of the sleet and freezing rain it made everything slick and made it perfect for sledding!  We have a great hill in a neighbor's yard in our cul-de-sac and that's where all the kids on this end of the street come when it snows!  It's great!  We spent the morning sledding and then when we couldn't feel our hands, feet or noses anymore we came in for some hot chocolate and snacks and then headed back out for some more sledding.  It isn't supposed to snow anymore but it's supposed to drop down to 12 degrees tonight so everything out there will be a big sheet of ice tomorrow.........which will mean more sledding!  I like it as much as the kids do!

Fantastic Friday

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  We've been very busy and I just haven't had much to say and I "lost" a bunch of pictures from the company cruise and the polar bear plunge and that had me kind of depressed about blogging.   Anyway......I decided to jot down a few things that make this Friday Fantastic.  So here it goes:

1. It's Friday (need I say more)
2. Ansley has no homework on Friday so we all feel "free"!
3. Ansley is getting better each day with her retainer
4. Elisabeth is going to gymnastics in a little while and she loves it because it's HER activity and isn't something she has to go and sit and watch her sister do.  It's fun to watch her get sooo excited about it!
5. We are in the process of setting up Ansley's baptism at church.  She asked the Lord into her heart about 2 years ago and we've taken it slow since then but this is something she really wants to do so we are finally moving forward with it.  Yay!
6.The business continues to do well and God provides for us in ways that we couldn't have imagined when I decided to quit work 2 years ago.
7. God has great things in store for us......I can't wait to see what they are.   :-)


I hope you have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend!

New thru 30

I am reading through the New Testament in 30 days. Want to join me?? You can find the reading schedule at www.newthru30.com.

Happy New Year!

Let's get this party started!

We spent New Year's Eve in Savannah and we all stayed up until midnight! I didn't think I was going to make it! The kids were still going strong but we made them go to bed after the ball dropped. I hope each of you has a wonderfully blessed 2010!
