Snow Fun And Updates

Went outside the other day to shovel off sidewalks, really a waste of time since we get another inch of snow every other day. However, Hunter really wanted to go out to play, and I needed to fill bird feeders.  While out, Hunter asked if I would help him build a snowman.  For the life of me, I could not get the snow to pack into a good ball and get the ball to grow bigger and bigger.  I don't know if it is our snow consistency, or if I have just lost the knack since I haven't built snowmen frequently in a few ok many years.  Well, I had to think quickly or face the disappointment a my four year old, so instead we made Gus the snow seal (with the help of some mulch and leftover stalks from my flowerbed).

Hunter likes him and checks on him out the window every day.  Whew!  I'm glad we could save the day.  This creation probably is a little more like a walrus with his buck teeth, but I'm not about to argue that point since the boy is happy.

Adoption update:

We have heard from our agency that Shelby is still progressing with physical and occupational therapy.  The home where she is at is getting a second opinion.  Apparently they didn't really agree with the latest diagnosis either.  We have requested a video.  However our agency was not very encouraging on really getting one.  It doesn't really matter if we do, although we would LOVE to have one.  Kids come with uncertainties, and no two are alike.  She is ours, and with God's strength, we'll deal with her needs as best as we can.  We feel the love, support, and interaction of a family will go a long way to improving whatever conditions she comes to us with!
