Springtime in MN



So, here is springtime in MN. Anybody want to join us? We were in a winter storm warning from Thursday evening to Saturday morning. We were snowed in until some really good friends came over and helped shovel out our driveway. We have a snowblower and it worked for awhile, but then the snow was so heavy it kept clogging up the snowblower. As you can see, Calvin its defying this weather. He is going to ride his mommy's bike no matter what.











The temperature was actually quite warm. We were quite hot shoveling the snow. In fact the temperature was above 32 degrees and the snow on the ground was water.

















Calvin had good balance with the bike and he just plowed right through the snow. He had fun.














Here is Calvin jumping off our porch. This time he did a front flip off the porch. My timing wasn't right to get him in mid air. At least it was a pretty soft landing for him.












Here is Colby. He is not far behind from Calvin doing tricks. Here he just jumped out as far out as he could and landed in the snow. Silly guy! The snow was actually a little fun after getting over the fact that it was relentlessly coming anyway. The kids wallered all over in the snow and so did Simba. Our church was cancelled and so here we sit. Its nice to not go anywhere or have to do anything every once in awhile. We've been sooooo busy lately.

Oh my word! You saw our spring picture with the dogwood. What a contrast with MN. What amazing things are possible for repairing joints. Only a few years ago, Randy would have had to go on disability. What a blessing (painful though it is) to have the shoulder repaired.
