Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Last night before we all went to bed, it started to snow a little. Nothing heavy, just little flakes. I was hoping that it would snow during the night. Ed called and said that it was snowing in Black Forest. When we woke up in the morning and looked out it had definitely snowed! I went out in my p.j.'s (with shoes and a jacket) to get some pictures. It was very cold outside and very windy. I just had to get some pictures before the snow was gone (which it was by afternoon). This was Paul's first experience with snow and as soon as he saw it out the window he pointed to it. We told him what it was. I don't think he like going out in it, the cold wind, and the coldness of the snow. Here are some pictures of the snow, mountains, and us!Peter all bundled up for the cold weather.Paul seeing snow for the first time.Where the mountains would be.

P.S. Many of you have commented about us staying warm during the winter. We appreciate your concern, but we feel like we will be able to survive the winter. We may not be use to this type of weather, but there are many ways to stay warm. The stores and house are heated, so going from a warm house to warm car to warm house is no problem. We will get the right kind of clothes needed (layering as well as nice jackets). You don't need to go out unless you have to. I am planning on staying home with the boys if the weather is too bad or too cold outside. Thank you for your concern and your prayers. We will keep you updated on the type of weather we are having and how we are doing.
