Snow . . . and More Snow!

Apparently, last week's snowstorm was the storm of the decade for Spokane. School was closed for the whole week, church was canceled . . . the town basically shut down. Things are back up and running now, but many of the roads are still ice sheets full of icy potholes! I've gained a new appreciation for the snow removal crews in Salt Lake. Here they don't use any salt on the roads, so I think these potholey ice sheets are here to stay until spring.

Here is a snow bank in our parking lot . . . almost as tall as Luke:Here is another one that towers over Abby.While we've been "snowbound" inside . . . . . . Katie has enjoyed hiding in this little spot between her crib and the rocking chair to read books.

. . . Abby has spent hours and hours drawing, writing, and coloring. (She's getting so good at writing the letters of the alphabet! It's fun to see her excitement about writing.)

. . . there have been moments of war and moments of peace alike.

. . . I've tried to keep up with the laundry, but have often been foiled in my attempts. (I've got a little more help than I can handle!)
