Sledding

We didn't get as much snow as we were hoping for, but I guess it will have to do. I think we ended up with about 5 or 6 inches. It was beautiful this morning when we got up. It was still snowing and the wind was causing drifts. The pine trees are really pretty with the heavy snow and ice on them. Juan thinks it is "mucho snow", so he's happy.
We went to the later church service this morning, had lunch and then came home to prepare for sledding. There's a park with good hills that is fun to go to. There were alot of people there and we had a really good time. Maicol found someone who would let him use a snowboard and help him get started. He did very well and of course wants one now. :) Juan made many trips up and down. I rode with Andres. He was happy until he had gone through his second pair of gloves and his hands were pretty cold. We stayed there a little over an hour. They are hoping Dan will take them again tomorrow.
Bethany is home and Maicol and Juan have been very excited to have her here. Andres is not so sure. He doesn't want to look at or talk to her. Not sure what's going on there. He saw her for over a week less than a month ago, so it's not like she's someone new. Maybe he doesn't like her coming and going? If I'm not here she says he's a little better with her, but when I'm home he only wants me. I guess I'm not sure he understands that she is his sister.
It's off to work tomorrow, so enjoy the pictures (cause there won't be anything tomorrow).

How fun! We don't get white stuff on the ground around here! It was in the 70's last week; it was 45 earlier tonight. It is supposed to get colder...I am wondering how our children will respond to the cold weather. Did the boys initially complain of the cold weather? They look and sound like they've embraced it. Love the pics! Sledding looks like fun...

Hi,We got about 7inches of snow,but the roads are pretty clear today. Grandpa is getting ready to take Jack for a walk. I'm glad you are having so much fun in the snow. These will be great memories for the boys. Love you all, Mom

It looks like so much fun! At least Andres is exhibiting a secure attachment to YOU. He'll learn to like Bethany. :)
