Visitors...

The grass is still under all that snow. It's hard to believe, because we haven't seen it in forever. The exposed grass has brought out some deer. I saw a herd of 4 deer today, and a very special deer the other night.








This deer that was standing very close to my back deck, only had 3 legs. It wasn't very skittish. I stood there taking pictures and it just kept eating.

It was very dark outside so these aren't the best pictures, but you get the idea.

And what would a post be without one of these....

Beautiful sights and lots of snow!

We have had a busy winter here in Virginia. We have gotten tons of snow. I of course can't stop taking pictures of it all. I'll let you choose your favorites! This is what I've been busy doing this past January and since...

So beautiful...

The snow was really powdery in this storm and was blowing everywhere in the 40mph wind...

I can't help but snap shots of the beautiful sun. This is one of the things I see that reminds me that God is number one...

Hope you are all safe during your winter weather....

Merry Christmas!

We had a white Christmas in Roanoke this year! We got quite a bit of snow the weekend before Christmas. Then we headed to Tennessee on Christmas Eve to be with my family. We ended up having a wonderful and quiet day.

Bryce getting excited about his gifts!

He was of course trying to open them immediately.

We had a nice Christmas lunch together. We missed my sister and the rest of the family as well as John's family....

...But we ate plenty for them.... lol.

Bryce and John played all day with all the toys. They put together K-nex cars to race each other!

They had a so much fun just relaxing at the house.

All in all God blessed us with a Merry & safe Christmas.

Baby Shower!

Our friends Jonathan and Tiffany are having a baby girl. I assisted Miranda in throwing a coed baby shower for the couple! It was such a fun night.

The parents to be...

The guys participated in the baby games. Miranda melted candy bars and put them in the diapers. They took turns examining the diapers and then they all guessed what they were! It was really interesting watching them play!

The mom to be being silly!

Baby girl arrived healthy! Congrats to the couple!
