I guess because I have lived in Paraguay for 4 years and spent 4 years before that in South Texas, I had forgotten that chilly weather can linger longer than a month in Central Texas. Recently I have so longed for the sunshine, to wear sandals and a t-shirt, and to be outside sipping terere. It has been so cold, rainy and down-right miserable for weeks and weeks that it made us even more thankful for Sunday’s weather…..the sun finally was up and the temperature read 70 degrees! Our family headed to the park where the kids always love the great playground, throwing the football or Frisbee, and riding their bikes. I always enjoying seeing them play with Jeff and having a blast, plus I usually get a couple chapters of my book read.
Two day later on Tuesday, we woke up to huge snowflakes and a layer of snow already on the ground. It was beautiful. The kids quickly piled on layer after layer, scarves, gloves, and boots and headed outside. Ginny headed up construction on the first snowman while Joshua made sure everyone was hit by snowballs. The kids and Jeff made a great snow fort and then Jeff and Ginny made a great Snowman of Liberty in the front yard. It snowed nearly the entire day – about 3 inches in total.
Today, Thursday, the weather was warm again (67 degrees), so we shed the layers and headed to the park again and broke out our terere. Life is full of adventures and we love it!
Fun in the snow.
love this guy!
