Big, fat snowflakes.

I guess spring needed a day off because when I opened the blinds this morning to let the sunshine in I saw instead snow covered branches and big, fat snowflakes falling down. Sammy, being the studier that he is, loves for me to stand him on the windowsill and let him watch those mysterious flakes falling, falling from the sky:)

Anyway, as the babies are napping and it is so cozy here on the couch watching winter outside, I thought I'd take a few minutes and tell you about our guests we had staying with us last week.

Evan (AKA "Knappy") is a good, good friend of ours from Hawaii. He and Joel were OR techs together and he became like our little brother while we were there. He went to church with us, did youth ministry with us, and he and Joelie spent lots of time hiking, laughing, farting, talking..... Then we moved back to Texas and he to Ohio. He came and visited in Texas, driving all the way from Ohio on a whim, just because he could:) This visit last week, though, had a purpose. He is applying to PA school at the University of Utah! So, he and his girlfriend came and spent the week. They checked out the school, explored the city, played with the babies, and hopefully had a grand ol' time. It was so fun to see how we all have changed over these past few years. He has been learning about and experiencing community living with other Christians and it's obvious that both he and his girl have developed such a servant's heart. There wasn't a dirty dish in my sink the entire time they were here--they jumped in without asking and met needs and honored us before themselves.

So, we had a great visit and would love to see him get into PA school here and be our neighbor again! I hear little noises coming from the nursery so guess I better close for now. Here is to good friends, Jen
