This year and last year

What I am about to post may seem crazy, and unless you have lived through it like us Manitoban's you may not believe me.

These photos were taken exactly one year ago almost to the day.

These photos were taken today.

MARCH 22, 2013

The incredibly great thing is that Adalyn and I had fun outside that day last year and once again had a superb time outside today doing entirely different seasonal things!  It truly is great to live in a part of country where we can experience such weather extremities. 

It is also so great to see Adalyn finally enjoying the snow.  Perhaps it is in part due to the temperatures being a bit warmer too, but until now she has been so unfriendly with the snow.  Today she jumped and played, toted bricks of snow around from here to there, climbed piles and slid down, pulled her sled around, plunked down in the deeper snow and laughed and smiled and played!  Ahhhh.... this is what you've been missing all 5 months of winter Adalyn!  haha  

Here are a few more photos of our lovely time.

 

Grace

God is continuing to teach me about his grace.  Today I lay in the snow looking up at the clouds moving past.  I haven't done that for so long!   It was so beautiful and refreshing and I was reminded of God's presence again.   His great, awesome, presence and that He shares that sort of greatness with me!  Lots more of this topic on my heart, but I'm just not sure yet how to write it down...
