Dear Fam,
Allow me to be the first to amaze you with pictures of Atlanta's BLIZZARD of 2009!!! My son now believes that snow exists BEYOND the walls of his imagination!! He and Daddy sported thick winter SOCKS as mittens (I literally just donated the actual mittens I purchased last year---tags still attached), and made a cowboy snowman in the rapidly accumulating (and snowman-perfect) snow!!! Will refused to come back inside (but did allow a few mitten-sock/jacket changes) until frostbite began to set in. One of his favorite parts was standing on the front hill and listening to the slushy commotion of cars that drove by. (Unfortunately, on this street there's never a shortage of them!) Hope, too, enjoyed the rare opportunity to get in touch with her Arctic-wolf ancestry!
The pictures below are from our camping adventure at Amacalola Falls. I don't know where my head was, but I didn't take a single photo of our actual campsite or camper!!! I guess I was just enjoying the chance to be 100% focused on GOD'S treasures! It was all just so breath-taking! At one point, while taking Hope on a solo potty-hike in the mountain trails directly behind our campsite, I couldn't help but wonder if God still sneaks down here to stroll amidst the marvels of His Hands!?! (You know, when the nearest human is miles away!?) I sure hope so........He definitely deserves to enjoy it all much more than we do!
