YAY SNOW!

We've finally gotten our first snow for the season. It started at 9 last night. Hasn't snowed much this morning though the clouds certainly look like they could dump more at any moment, and the temp is still low enough for snow and not rain!

Siggy loves snow just about as much as me, it seems. As soon as it started snowing he wanted to be taken outside. It was funny watching him eat snow flakes as they plopped from the sky. So excited, it was really cute. But because that was happening in the dark, I couldn't get a video of it. Maybe we'll get back out if it snows some more during daylight today.

Yesterday was a fair amount of rain before the snow, so it is a pretty wet pack right now. But with lots more snow on the horizon it should continue to get even prettier as time progresses. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some pictures taken before church.



The only down side about any weather system coming in and changing the weather so rapidly is that my arthritis goes super crazy. I was plastered into the bed all night and slept a somewhat restless 12 hours! The arthritis index is pinned at extreme for the next few days, and it certainly feels like that for me. Oh well, my cane is my friend, if only it were a walker, but I'll make do.

I'm just praising God for the beauty of the snow. I love how transformed everything is, from dirty and dry, to covered in white, this time of year, when it snows. It's so beautiful.

On to other topics. I'm thoroughly engaging in learning as much as I can about adoptions right now. We are more and more convinced that foster adopt looks like the route we want to go. Because adoption can be tricky with timing and placement, and with foster kids - emotions, we feel that while it's been good for us to have the adoption blog site, we'll be taking it down soon. Some posts will come here, and the things we can talk about will be posted here, but having a blog specifically, and only for our adoption story, isn't appropriate. If one wants to follow just adoption related posts they will be able to do so using the tags feature once I have things shifted over.

I've had some complaints about having my comments be registered users only. I'm not sure what to do right now, I need to keep my comment moderating secure, and it hasn't been fair to readers when commenters who do have a site registered somewhere post "anonymously" with just their name, this is meant to have commenter accountability. A lot of blogs function this way. What I may start to allow is a way to e-mail a comment in too, where I have the e-mail address, but it isn't visible in the post, and then allow comments that way. I've seen that on different blogging sites, but as of now, I haven't seen that feature available, readily, on blogger.

So, snow is pretty, arthritis is not, adoption stuff being studied, blog changes happening. Oh, and I'm blessed to have Kevin all to myself for the next 5 days as he's on vacation! While I may be in a lot of pain, life feels pretty good! Praise be to the good, one and true GOD!

Oh, and did I mention, YAY SNOW!
