Dumpling's visit to the post office.......

Dumpling was thrilled to ride the preschool bus on a field trip to the post office to mail her Valentines.  The trip had to be rescheduled due to our snow days last week.  The kids had a great time with the behind the scenes tour.

Randomness......

More of the white stuff..........

We woke up to another big snow fall this morning.  There was at least 6 inches of powder everywhere.  It is breathtakingly beautiful!

this one was taken yesterday

Just for the record, I will take sun and sweat anyway over snow.

Thoughts.......

To anyone even considering adoption, read this.  These precious ones are begging for families.

Winter Wonderland is upon us.............

St Francis was really cold today!

Yes, this is Alabama and every once in awhile we get a big enough snow to 'play' outside.  The kids were excited this morning to see snow.   The Dumpling was really unsure about the snow, but decided it was pretty fun once she got to sled down the hill.  The Princess however loved sledding!
Stay warm friends!

Season ending tournament.......

The Frog and her coach/Dad were thrilled to be in their season ending tournament at UAB this year.  It was exciting for the 6th grade girls to play in a big college arena.  The girls fought hard but unfortunately could not pull off a win.  We enjoyed watching them play their hearts out.

Some circus fun............

We had the opportunity to see the circus in our little southern town.  The girls were mesmerized by it.  Dumpling decided the 'Ariel ballet' or otherwise known as aerial ballet was something quite wonderful.
