The Amazon, Snow, and Geneaologies

Well, it's been quite an eventful few weeks around here!  Isaac just returned Thursday from Peru, where he was adventuring in the Amazon with a group of men... I'm sure there will be many pictures of his adventures to share, but for now, I'll just share a couple of Machu Picchu. Isn't my man an awesome photographer??

During Isaac's 15 day adventure, we were kept busy... a wonderful few days spent with Avie (can't tell you how much I love this girl!!), a North and South marathon with my sister-in-law, Esther, and... will wonders never cease... we got snowed in at my in-laws! Anyone even remotely familiar with GA knows that we don't get much snow. When we do get snow, it's usually a dusting and melts within a day or two. Not this time... this snow brought around 6" and, as I type, my front yard STILL has more than GA usually sees. 

Whilst snowed in at the Weathers, the kids had their first sledding adventures - these videos came from my phone, and let me just warn you - prepare to laugh. Especially on the second one. :)  Alas, I've no pictures because... my camera was in the Amazon being put to much more intriguing use. ;)

Due to the extremely unusual winter wonderland, we were able to get out Saturday and have some snow time with Daddy! My sister Heather, her husband Josh, and their kiddos were here for a visit... so there were many laughs and lots of fun.

All that sledding wears a girl out!

Crash!

Bliss :)

So, that's our month in a nutshell! I feel like I have so much buzzing around in my head that I hope to one day put into words/ organize/ do, to share - but for now, life with little ones is keeping me pretty well busy! Loving every moment of it... I'm constantly being reminded that the little day-to-day things that don't seem like "big accomplishments" are the most important things that I can be pouring my time into right now. And I'm constantly in prayer that I will be a better steward of my time with each passing day!  Just came across a lovely new-to-me blog a couple of days ago that's gotten me into an organizing mood! Now if only there were more than 24 hours in a day!! ;)

Want something fun to do with your kiddos over the next little while? Memorize this song with them... you'll soon know the complete genealogy from Abraham to Christ. It's catchy too... my kids LOVE this song!
