Snow! What's That?



Wednesday night it was difficult for Emma to go to bed. She has always wanted to have a white Christmas. Looks like she might even get a white Thanksgiving this year. About bed time Wednesday it began to "spit" a few snow flakes. By Thursday morning we had a light dusting for PK standards. There was enough snow that it would have caused problems in MS. Wheeler would have certainly turned out school and the grocery store would have sold all their milk and bread. Everything was normal in PK, even the grandmaw's were out and about. It did make for a fun walk to the magazine (grocery store). We picked up some klep (bread)just so we would feel like everyone in MS when snow is predicted. Lee and Emma did have a chance to toss a few snowballs at one another. Suzanne and I spent the day in language school. We are learning many words and different endings but still find it very difficult to make a complete sentence. I feel like I am in first grade again. Each day Zoya makes us recite the alpahbet. Two days this week she gave us a "pop" spelling test. Zoya is a great teacher and has taught us alot in only 7 days of class. Zoya only speaks Russian. That made the first couple of days quite a challenge.

Everyone is doing great. Rachel, the new homeschool teacher, will arrive this week. She has recently had knee surgery. Pray that she and the kids develop a quick and healthy relationship and that she is able to get around and her recovery from the surgery is smooth and easy.

I’m glad language school is going well and that ya’ll are adjusting. Pretty soon Emma Grace may get more snow than she ever imagined. But then again…the white stuff never gets old to the kids. Blake, Ariel & Amber says hello and they love the picture of Lee & Emma in front of the mountain.

Holding the rope and missing you guys!!
