LET IT SNOW!!! LET IT SNOW!!! OH LET IT SNOW!!!

I am looking for a winter background, because even though I thought it would never come...

Winter DID!!!!!

Me my brothers and my sister are having lots of fun with it, even though it is still a little bit! Daddy checked the weather and from now until Wednesday it is supposed to be rainy/snowy off and on. But, Wednesday and for the rest of the week it is supposed to be snow, snow SNOW!!! I am not sure what the weather is for next week, but oh I think it will be SNOW!!!

Three cheers for winter!!! Hip Hip! Hurrah!

A snowman even arrived too!

"Old man winter, I welcome you!"

A picture I took today...

Todays doings and thoughts

Mmmmm....! I just finished a yummy dinner of Daddy's crêpes. They were really good! He also made some yummy pumpkin custard... delectable!

Mama, Grace and I had a wonderful time together at market. First we set up our stand, and then Mama dropped Grace and I off at the library. We got 3 books. None of them were the books I was reading at my sister's... :( But, they are some nice ones. While we were at the library, we saw some of our neighbors who lived by us at our house we used to live in. They have 7 adopted children. They are all very sweet. When we lived at our other place, they adopted the first little girl from China. Then just before we moved, they adopted their 7th, another girl. They have 3 boys and 4 girls. I can tell they are loved so much. We only met up with the mother and her daughters. I don't think the girls remembered us very well because they were so young when we knew them. I have so many wonderful memories playing together! Grace and I walked the three miles from the library to the market. It was a nice walk.

On the way back from the market, we stopped at goodwill. Grace and I found some nice things!

This is what I got:

A lace-type sweater. It is a whitish-cream colored, with a empire waist and long sleeves that sort of flare out at the end.

A bright pink overall style jumper that has patchwork and beaded butterflies embellishing it.

A white turtleneck shirt to go with the jumper.

A black wool coat. It is the kind that have four big black buttons to close it up. Not a barn coat at all!

A pair of purple leggings. They are for when I go skiing. I wear them under my dress. They are big enough that I can wear some warmer sweatpants or something underneath.

That's what I got! Everything I got was half off !!!! Real deals! Even the coat! A wool coat for only $2.something! Yes, real deals indeed!

Latter,

Hannah

P.S. I decided to take a few pics of what I got. So here ya are!

Grace and I went to our sister's house today for a visit. We had a wonderfully pleasant time together! And as always, I had fun with my nephews! i started reading a book that my sister had and now I have to get it from the library because I need to know the rest of the story!

I am planing on going to market with Mama tomorrow. So, I should get to bed!

I will leave you with this lovely poem. It is a song, but I do not know the tune!

~~~~~~~~~~~~Y~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draw Me Closer To The Father

Draw me closer to the Lamb

When I’m tired when I’m weary

Hold me in Your tender hand

When it’s stormy and I’m troubled

Lift me up and help me stand

Just draw me closer to the Father

Draw me closer to the Lamb

When I’m in trouble and temptation

When there’s nothing I can do

I have no other choice

But to come closer in to You

Teach me Lord to be patient

And to put my trust in You

My daily prayer my only hope is to

Draw closer unto You

Look What I woke up to!

My brothers are already out having a snowball "fight" while they do their chores. Only one ball was hurled at me...so far.

A Beautiful Song...

   When I look into your Holiness 
When I gaze into Your lovliness 
And all things that surround me 
Become shadows in the Light of You
 
When I found the joy of reaching Your heart 
When my will becomes enthroned in Your love 
And all things that surround me 
Become shadows in the Light of You 

I Worship You   I Worship You 
The reason I live is to Worship You 
I Worship You   I Worship You 
The reason I live is to Worship You

This morning we woke up to HUGE snowflakes falling! Oh am so thankful for snow! Okay, this snow is not going to last because the ground is not frozen yet, but it is snow all the same and winter IS on the way!

51 things I am thankful for

"The secret to being content is

gratefulness,and the secret

to being grateful is truly believing
