Music, Snowflakes & Tummy Aches

With hopes of school cancellations, we ventured out as a family to hear the Sons of Jubal sing at FBC Milledgeville.  It was absolutely incredible.  I know that kind of music is not everyone's cup of tea, so to speak, but going to recitals and concerts while Daniel attended TFC I have a deeper understanding and greater appreciation for the music.  There is something about hearing a men's choir lifting praises to Christ.  Daniel originally signed up to be a part of the Sons of Jubal, but lots of things happened around here that kept him from being an active participant.  He eventually sent his notebook back.  We stuck around afterwards and talked to several of the men (some he knew).  The director voiced a statement that the Lord had laid on his heart during the performance.  Something to the effect of when times get hard we tend to stay away from what we need the most.  After last night, Daniel is "resigning."  :)

We came home and I eagerly watched the news with hopes of having a snow day.  I didn't get the full snow day, but I did get to leave school early. 

Around 4:30 the snow started coming down harder and sticking.  Brayden and I were on the couch taking a nap and I woke up to the most beautiful picture outside the window. 

A little while later our back porch looked like this...

When Daniel got home from the church, we went outside for Brayden's 1st snow!!!

He was bundled up wearing Uncle Josh's hoodie (his head is too big for his own), a sleeper, a fleece jacket, and a humongous fleece blanket that my coteacher gave me for Christmas.

We didn't stay out too long because he already has a snotty nose.  Maybe we will go out tomorrow again.  No Upward this weekend because of the weather, so we are looking forward to getting "snowed in."  Nana and Papa John (Daniel's mom and stepdad) are coming to spend time with Brayden tomorrow.  Maybe I can get some cleaning done while they're here!?!

After "playing in the snow" we came in and got supper going and had a good steak dinner!  Brayden soon has his dinner....

Then had play time....he wanted mommy's phone.

 

So he got mommy's phone.

 

Then he started eating mommy's phone.

So mommy, took away the phone....but it wasn't too long before he had this face....

...the face I love so much my heart melts every time I see it!

Soon he will know more about mommy's phone than mommy knows about her phone!

Unfortunately, my steak has not settled well with me.  Daniel and Josh have braved the snow, and probably ice by now, to go get me some medicine.  Brayden feel asleep and Daniel placed on the floor like this....

 Warm by the fire.

He's such a good Daddy!!!
