This weekend we had a very wonderful blanket of white stuff cover Durham and surrounding areas. We have played and enjoyed our winter thoroughly. I don't know how long it will last, I am hoping that it will be here through today, but with Durham, you never know.

Here are some pictures that I took Saturday morning while it was still snowing:

Yes, that is 7 inches of snow! I love it!

Saturday we went out trying to find something to stave off our cabin fever, and we ended up helping three people get their vehicles back on the road. When we turned onto our road, headed home, Halleigh said, "I don't want to go home, I want to keep driving around looking for people off the road to help."  So sweet that she realized what was happening and so sweet that she enjoys "helping" others. 

One of my goals for raising my children is that I raise children with hearts for service who honor and place the focus on Jesus with their servant's hearts. I hope that the tiny, seemingly insignificant act of pushing people back on the road helped to develop that in Halleigh.  And I really hope that we continue to be good examples of this, actions speak louder than words after all!
***Note: I actually stayed in the car with the kids while Miles pushed people out. I was just the driver who pulled over. he he he
