And this was the view that distracted the children in our living room/school room today:
Joseph was the first one out, quickly volunteering to shovel the walk. He finished the entire walk with his child-sized shovel, even though it was broken. He loves to be out in the snow.
After lunch, Katie, Joseph, and Matthew headed out for recess. Many snowballs were thrown and a snow fort begun.
Thankfully, the roads were fairly clear when I took Patrick out to his first M odel U.N. meeting this afternoon at the high school on base. At the moment I am praying a quick prayer for his safe arrival home from Boy Scouts. He rode in with our neighbor, his friend, who recently turned 18 and is able to drive off base now.
More snow is predicted in a few days so it looks like we may be in for a real Misawa winter this year. The kids are very hopeful, and even I would prefer it to the dud of a winter we had last year, with not even enough snow for snowshoeing or cross country skiing.
Time to stock up on tea and cocoa!
P.S. My arm feels well enough to get back to typing. Hooray! The stitches come out on Wednesday. I only had four, and the surgery was finished in less than an hour. Thanks be to God!
