All this beauty...


we called it...



All the kids got out in it for a little while
but it was these two....



that enjoyed it most and
who you will see the most in this post.



Alexandra and Blake were always close by...



they even had a little fun themselves...






but I decided
this was is all about the little guys.



We didn't get much snow,
an inch if we were lucky...













You would have thought God had sent
Conner a message in his sleep



telling him He was sending it his way
and to check in the morning



because that is what he did first thing out of the bed.
Then he squealed with delight!



Carson wasn't far from him
he was eager to get out there and
make his snow angel....
even going so far as to practice it
on the hardwood floor in the kitchen.









Conner spent most of his time eating the snow.



Every time I turned around this was what I found...



and these are the looks that I got
after telling him to stop eating it!









I love that little smile on his face...
he was really enjoying himself.



Typical Conner,
his curiousity is what usually gets him into trouble.



but not today...
he had too much investigating to do.



Don't know what is up with the color here...
but I don't care,
I just love the look on his sweet little face.






Conner...yet again...eating snow...









A quick shot of Alex



and one of Blake



then right back to the
Snow Miser!






I knew he wouldn't make it too long
before his mischievous side came out again...



Snow in hand...



Unsuspecting victim below....






Bingo!



That Conner....



you got a love him.






This one too...



He has those baby blues...



even all that beauty of the snow...
can't take away from those!

Indescribable...

that's what this
wonderful winter wonderland was to me today.



I pulled everyone together
and threw them into the car
and wasn't thrilled to be doing it.



As the car backed out of the drive,
and I started to look around
one thing came to mind...



the word
"INDESCRIBABLE".



How did I know as I rushed around the house
aggravated to be heading to the store,



that once out in the elements
the ice, the rain, the cold...



that all the aggravation would be forgotten
and instead be replaced by an overwheming awe of the beauty around me.



Just another sign of how amazing my God is.



How do you put into words





how something that can cause such trouble,
such distress at times to the world around us



something that can put our daily lives to a stand still
by making its presence known,



how can it be possible to also see it
as this beautiful.



I don't know how...



It's simply
"INDESCRIBABLE".



As Chris Tomlin sings in his song,
"Indescribable"...



if you know
how many stars are in the sky...



and know their names...



this should come as no surprise.





God is so amazing
even the trees that His hands created
bowed to Him today.









As I looked at the trees bowing down
their limbs laden with ice,



I remembered that He has told us in His Word
that one day every knee will bow,



and every tongue proclaim
that He is Lord.



How don't see how anyone
could look around them today



and not see how amazing, how powerful He is.






I am also struck by the fact
that as awesome as He is



He still came for me...
died for me...



Cares for me...



for insignificant me...



truly amazing to me...



and just like the winter wonderland I was in awe of today,
I find it completely...

INDESCRIBABLE.
