SNOW











Ok this was real snow! After the disappointment of finding out that our trip to visit friends in Atlanta this past weekend was to be cancelled due to their extensive stomach bug, we were left in town with no plans. Probably on Wed the forecasters began their warnings of the winter storm passing through east TN. Having lived here all our lives, we know better than to believe the forecast. Come Friday afternoon when the national weather advisory, and the weather channel had joined forces in predicting our snow -we sat and anxiously waited. And it came, not the 10inches I heard one report predict, but a good 2-3 inches in the yards. We woke up Sat to a winter wonderland, Connor was thrilled. Our brothers and Brians parents helped to spend the day building snowmen, sleding, throwing snowballs and making snow angels-after a few hours connor was finally drug inside for hot chocolate and chicken noodle soup -only to suit up and head out again that afternoon. We did not leave the house for 2 days - we played and played, watched movies, sat in front of the fire and enjoyed our kiddos -it was the kind of snow weekend that childhood memories are made from -our adult memories for some of us.
