Snow Day!!!

First of all... congratulations to the Taufers for getting their visa today! I posted yesterday about how they were waiting for a phone call. Praise the Lord, they can finally go home!

Ellie had school cancelled yesterday (and today as well), and in anticipation of the upcoming snowfall, Daddy was prepared with the purchase of a REAL sled this year (no more trash can lids -- yay!). We bundled up the kids (which took a REALLY long time) to play in the snow for about half an hour. This was Reni's first experience down in it and he loved it. We didn't have snowpants for him, but layering up seemed to work fine. Keeping his gloves on was another matter.




We had already lined up Mark to stay with Reni so we could get some office work done, so he was a helpful set of extra hands which allowed me to take photos.


Later on we bundled back up to have lunch on campus. Ellie insisted on trying to carry Reni on her back. She was amazingly strong! As you can see, Reni didn't have much faith!

We loved seeing the children in the snow. They are so precious. It always brightens our day to share in their lives.
Love, Uncle Jack and Aunt Ruth
