World Series Weather is Here

Yesterday, on the 20th of October we went to the Air Force Academy football game. The weather was absolutely breathtaking. 75 degrees, a slight breeze, the works. We had a great day and enjoyed celebrating Angie's birthday together as a family. You can see a picture of Ethan and I in front of an Air Force glider just beyond the stadium on gameday.

Well, we knew there was a 70% chance of snow, but then again it snowed last sunday too, but didn't stick. We were stunned when we awoke this morning to find a winterwonderland. In fact, we got out the Clay Aiken Christmas CD to celebrate. We made it to church, but on the way back could not pull into the driveway due to a couple inches of snow that had accumulated while we were out. It was my first time ever to try out my trusty new snow shovel. But it had to be done, for the car could not get through the snow on the drive. The picture of the front of the house is obviously after I plowed the sidewalks and drive.

We were not prepared in the children's snow boot arena. Angie and I took the boys to Wal-Mart and got them some snow boots and then we frolicked in our back yard for a while. Ethan and I built a snowman, but really he looks like something out of a bank robber movie, because Ethan made me put my black knit cap on his head.

We enjoyed a beautiful day and we are amazed how God covers our sins up like this snow covered everything around us. What a great lesson to us today. We also are ready for the Rockies to play a World Series in the snow? We'll see, but rest assured there will be some serious fans ready to brave this cold. The afternoon temp here today was 29 degrees.

Levi enjoyed eating the snow. LOVED IT! He munched and munched. Had a blast until he rode the sled with his brother and went face first in the slow. Then he hated it. The picture speaks a thousand words.

Love you all and Go Rockies!
