Lang Log: March 2009

We woke up to a wonderful surprise yesterday! Imagine, if you will, waking up one wonderful Sunday morning all nice and cozy warm in your bed. Nothing particularly different at first about this Sunday. Nothing different until we ventured from our bed to find everything outside covered in a beautiful blanket of snow! Now those of you from the North who are reading this blog are probably thinking, "Snow in March? What is so exciting about that? We are still waiting the Big Storm of '09!" OH, but this is not the North. This is ALABAMA! To most of the children who live here, snow is but a description to them, never to be experienced! Snow is something they have only seen in pictures let alone in person. I spoke to a teenage girl at church yesterday who had never seen snow until just last year when she went on a missions trip to Germany. Being Northerners ourselves, Zach and I probably took the snow a little for granted, but we were still very excited! We've missed it. And it was wonderful to play with our children in it! We made some great memories yesterday!Praise the Lord, we made it to church safely yesterday. We had a wonderful service and it seemed so fitting that our small yet never the less present choir sang "Holy is He". We made it safely home. In fact, the snow was already starting to melt by our drive home Sunday morning. We decided to eat lunch before we got out to play in the snow. We should have played first because much of the snow had melted by the time we made it outside. Nevertheless, we had a major snow ball fight, built a snow man and Ethan even made a snow angel! Here are some pictures we took of our fun filled snow day!
