This week has been the snowiest that I can remember since moving here over 2 years ago. We already had about 4 feet on the ground, then it snowed and blew on Monday. Today it did it again.
Baby J has been sick since Saturday. Monday I considered taking him in to the doctor's but the weather was too bad. Yesterday he continued to run a fever off and on for the fourth day. I decided that if he was still sick today I would bring him in. Unfortunately he woke up a royal crab-baby, and I knew that I had to take him in - he just wasn't getting better. As soon as school was over with the girls, my dh and I loaded the van with the baby and we headed to town. The road had been plowed in the morning, so we thought it couldn't be too bad. Famous last thoughts.
The wind was blowing and the snow was falling and the visibility was horrible! We decided to go to urgent care instead of risking the usual 2 hour wait at his regular doctor's office. I'm glad we did. Once we got to the office, J was breaking out in a rash on his face and arms and back. Hmm. Probably roseola. I got a urine on him anyway, since he had a UTI last year. It had a bunch of blood in it. My nurse practitioner colleague called him in an antibiotic and we decided to forego shopping before the roads got any worse. By now it was snowing in town too. On the trip home the snow was so blinding and deep, I prayed all the way! We didn't get stuck, but many times I thought we could easily. God really helped us!
Thanks to those of you who have been praying for J. I hope that he will start recovering soon.
Here are some pics from the last snow that I took in the last week. The playground pics are from yesterday, and the others from about 10 days ago when we had friends over to sled.
WOW! That's a lot of snow!
My kids love the sledding pictures, though.
(It's been too cold to go sledding here.) :-(
It has finally warmed-up to -2, and I never thought that would feel 'warm,' but after -45 it really does!
Look at all that snow. My oldest princess would LOVE to be in the middle of that with you and not here in the 70' weather..LOL..
She is so not like her mom :-).
Praying your little one is feeling better soon. I love the weather you have. Winter is my favorite season. All of my family likes to play in the snow. I pray you have agood week with everything that needs to be accomplished done and some special time with your family. Maybe a special evening with your hubby.
~Love and Prayers Your Secret Sister.
Hi, Carol, and I hope all is well. I will lift up your son in prayer, and I'm glad to read that things are well with the girls and school. I don't know what the other, more intense situations are, but the Lord does no, and He'll give you what you need to walk through your trial.
I sure pray Baby feels better quickly, and I am saying a prayer for your situation. I pray God gives you both peace and brings answers at the perfect time.
That snow is just amazing~coming from a southern girl!

You have a lot of snow. We got snow here this year as well. First time in the fours years since we have lived here. Sorry to here your baby is sick. Not fun!! I hate it when my kids are sick.
We aren't moving to Parachute, Col but there is a horse training school there my husband would like to go to so we will be looking for places to stay for cheap so I was thinking a YWAM base. This is a long term goal so maybe in the next three years. We may be back for a visit though. We will see. Such are the plans of mice and men, eh?
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (12, 10 and 5) and a two year old son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek and serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
