Winter Wonderland! These shots were taken this morning in our backyard and across the street on the levy. The kids loved the snow, the sledding, and the hot chocolate afterward. Benjamin is at the hardware store right now working on dry-racks for the basement :)


"If I got out in the morning snow
In my pajamas and my winter coat
And take from the house our darker thoughts,
And take away the memory of loss,
And if I drop them into the snow
Will we never find them anymore?

Now the snow has covered everything.

I think we will be made clean like the snow.
I think we will become new like the snow.

Some winters are harder than others.
We are going to take our cameras
And look through at black trees with empty arms
And sled tracks wandering, as we are.

To see him, to see him happy.
To see him, to see him happy."
