Snow Day

We are a little late posting these but we had our first real snow since moving to NC a couple weeks ago. Ben and Leah were in awe to wake up in their very own house to world of white. Our Ohio boy Mark, thought our glee was amusing but loved taking Ben out to play and make his first snowballs. The top photo is our little house, the one below is our next door neighbor. The simple pleasures always seem to be the best.

Our Favorite Old Man

This past week we celebrated Mark's 40th birthday. At church the staff had a party for him and met him at the door with a wheelchair and cane. We were able to celebrate with our friends David and Judy and Mark was able to feast on filet mignon and red wine, his most beloved food combination. Ben was excited that he was able to snag a balloon, his most beloved toy. While Leah is still wrapping her brain around the fact that she is married to a forty year old (when did that happen?) she is basking in the fact that she still has seven years and few months to relish her thirties. Mark, may the year ahead be filled with joy and love. We are so thankful for all you give to your family. We love you!
