A week full of reminders...
from God's always & forever faithfulness
to the abundance which flows from His hand.
With a cup filled to overflowing,
I offer thanks~

Lovely list and photos. Enjoy seeing the snow and experiencing it through your words. We have the ski gear here, but no snow living too far south. Such glorious blessings!
What delightful children!
Heather ~ I always look forward to your Monday lists - and this may be one of my favorites yet! ;)
How I wish I could sit and share tea with you ... I'm sure we'd find plenty to talk about! ;)
LOVE Lollipop's shoes ... I won't tell you that I came home with 26 (yes 20+6!!) pair of squeaky shoes from China - all different sizes and colors for Sadie-Girl. They were just $3/pr there! Yes, I had to buy a cheap suitcase just for bringing home all my purchases! Girl, I wish I had known ... I'd have mailed you a pair!
Can't believe you guys got that much snow!! The pictures are all precious! ;)
Love to you and yours this Monday morning ... Hope you have a great week! ;)
Sarah has a pair of squeaky shoes too, love them. More snow is coming, can you believe it?
Adorable. This is so sweet.
Lovely words and pictures!
Thanks for sharing!

Your heart just warms mine when I read your list Heather. You've had quite a week! I remember how much I loved the snow when I was a little girl. We stayed outside until we couldn't feel our toes any more. It becomes a lot more challenging when you're an adult and life must go on, but you were still able to find the joy and the beauty!
I love the pictures of those precious kids.
I've missed these posts of yours.
This was so beautiful, and I miss little dress shoes , too.
Sounds like you had a great weekend , and I hope your week is blessed.
Love the pictures of the fun the kids are having in the snow! I'm sure Lolli is having fun with the "squeaks". Take care, love to all!Gmom
So lovely! Reminds me of snow play days filled with laughter, love and the simple joy of embracing God's nature (:
