Ice Day!

First, we hope and pray that all of you have a good Ash Wednesday today. 
May your Lenten resolutions give your lives a needed renewal.

Yesterday we woke to find what we thought was a layer of snow on the ground. We were so excited! However, when we bundled the kids up to go enjoy it, we realized that it was not snow, but a thick layer of ICE on EVERYTHING! Post was completely shut down, as well as the surrounding schools and businesses, so it was a day full of kids all over the place tackling the icy hills and streets. Kids were literally ice skating down the middle of the street! The super lucky kids on the street had sleds from a previous home where snow was prevalent. Our kids, however, still had a great time just sliding down on broken-down moving boxes! Fortunately, the ice slowly melted off of the roads yesterday, so we will be able to get to Mass today. It was super fun while it lasted, though! Mom even got to slide down the local hill!

These pictures remind me of a photo I took after a MN ice storm many years ago!


David was his normal billy goat self. 
He zipped up the icy hills that took most kids several minutes to slowly crawl up.

Yup - that is ALL ICE!

Love, Us.
