It knowing...It knowing

Ok...so that probably doesn't make much sense to most of you, but since we have had winter weather for weeks now, this has become 1 of Ava Grace's daily phrases....It knowing! It knowing!! She obviously means....It's snowing, it's snowing!! Yes, we have had plenty of the white stuff to last me another year and the ice is ridiculous. I don't mind the winter, but I don't like being "stuck".

During last weekend's storm (although that seems like a long time ago now), Ava Grace and I were in Spartanburg visiting Meme and Pop Pop. They got an inch or so of ice, so Pop Pop (with all of his creativeness) made Ava Grace a sled. We found a Tupperware contained in the garage and he tied some rope around it. It worked perfectly!!! It was very windy and cold, so we "rode" 1 time around the block. Ava Grace laughed the whole time. We were almost home when her Daddy accidentally dumped her out onto her face. It wasn't his fault as he hit a patch of ice that had been raised from the ground. Ava Grace didn't cry and fortunately, was not hurt either. It was fun!!

On Sunday we headed back up the mountain to the 11 inches of snow we had! Yes, we have had 2 major snow falls this year - 9.5 inches and 11 inches. I couldn't imagine living up North and having this stuff around every day for the whole winter. Wow!!

On a different note, we wanted to say Happy Birthday to several people have missed!! Happy birthday wishes to Carson, Rebecca, JR, Summer, Aunt Pam, and Aunt Kem!! We are looking forward to seeing you all soon and celebrating!! Love you all!!
