Our third snow day in a week! Wow. We got the call at 5:30, which allowed Scott to actually sleep in. Heather's internship was also canceled for a second day in a row. We played more cribbage, went to see Charlotte’s Web at the Moonlight Theater, and got a new sink! Our maintenance guy came to replace it on the absolutely perfect day, both of us were home. He also gave Heather a few tips on playing the accordion. Turns out he took accordion lessons when he was younger. What a beautiful snow day.

Wow, another snow day! We weren't expecting this on the Tuesday after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Scott got the call at 6:45 and it completely caught us off guard. Heather also received a call from her supervisor saying her internship was canceled for the day. So we get another day together! As we enjoy the day at home decluttering our apartment, we look outside as the snow comes pouring down. What a wonderful weekend. Two snow days in less than a week. Unfortunately this will be hard on Scott as far as lesson planning goes. Now he only has 5 full days before finals to get his students ready. Hope you are safe and blessed wherever you're at.

On Thursday morning January 11, 2007 we were blessed with a wonderful snow day! Scott woke up at 5:30, his normal time to get ready for work. At 6:30 he received a phone call that the school was on a 2 hour late start! He used that time to finish some grading and make his lunch. When it was light enough, he looked outside and saw a fresh blanket of snow and more coming down! He went online and checked the reports, and sure enough McMinnville School District- Closed. He ran into the bedroom waking up Heather saying, "You've got to see this!" This is a huge blessing, because Heather just finished up the last of her paperwork and projects for Marylhurst the previous day, and those items have been causing alot of stress recently. We were able to enjoy the snow day together, playing outside and creating our snowman "Sam" (Scott was the creative one who came up with the name). Yay for snow, it's a beautiful day, walking in a winter wonderland. To see more photos click here.
