Raising King's Kids

More Snow Fun Pictures

Here are some more pictures of us playing in the snow.  This is our Princess, Duffy and a new dog that has claimed our home.  She came up to Hubby in the snow shaking like a leaf.  Hubby felt so sorry for her that he decided to pick her up rather than go get his paintball gun!  She has since decided that this is her home - but hubby has still stated that she is only visiting?  He asks her "So how long are you staying? When are you planning on going home?" But Chi-Chi (as we've been calling her) just looks at him, rolls over on her back, and warms her way farther into his heart!  She really is a neat dog and the kids love her. 
I told the kids that you could make a little snowball and roll it into the snow to make a snowman, so they tried it.  This is the littlest Duke's snowman he says it has "a big bottom part."  Then rolled up so much of the snow that they hit the leaves and they're still learning that whole proportion thing LOL.
These 2 have decided to build the biggest snowball ever!  They ran out of snow though as it was quickly melting away today.  All that is left today is a brown yard covered in leaves and with the remains of a couple large snowballs.  We're expecting more snow today though - fun fun!
Chi-Chi kept stealing the carrot off the kids' snowmen.  The kids are convinced he's part rabbit, part cat, part dog, part kangaroo.  Duffy had to see what this carrot thing was all about - he wasn't impressed he's tasted much better treats so he let Chi-Chi have it to herself.  Chi-Chi still remains around our home - and when I call Duffy back in she comes running to the door -even when Duffy doesn't!

The snow is beautiful! I'm writing because I love the description and title of your blog. It's so true that our children are not our own. They have always and will always belong to Him. How blessed we are that He shares them with us for so long! I'll have to remember that next time I get frustrated with them. :)

Enjoy your snow!

About Me

Welcome, I'm Fru Astrida. I hear you asking now, "Why Fru Astrida?" Well, just let me tell you. With my oldest I am reading The Little Duke, a story about Richard the Fearless. It was common practice then for "young princes to be put under the care of some trusty vassal, instead of being brought up at home." Fru Astrida and her family were chosen because they could speak the Old Norweigan tounge which many had forgotten. In church one Sunday I realized that like Fru Astrida I too have been charged with bringing up 3 of THE KING's children! Wow what a responsibility! I feel so blessed to be able to raise these 3 precious ones. So that is why I am Fru Astrida and this blog is titled what it is. This blog will hopefully serve to document some of the invaluable memories we are creating, keep family members connected to our lives, and just clear my mind of some of the mindless clutter that can often collect there. <big grin>
