Cold Snap!

I guess it's really just a cold snap for Rebecca and me.  We returned two weeks ago from Suzhou to find the temperatures in Bloomington, IN below 20 degrees F.  We'd spent the last two weeks in 70 deg. plus weather in Hilton Head and then Suzhou!  It has snowed three times there since we departed for China, totalling close to 12 inches!  Rebecca blames herself because she's been praying for snow before we leave (it's the last unfulfilled promise that we made the kids when we left Williamsburg, figuring we had a few years to see it through).

Attached are some snow pictures, most taken in the dark after I got home from work.  I was shoveling the driveway while the boys were enjoying themselves (although they did help me when I started piling the snow up into a hill for them to sled down).  Rebecca is nursing a sore throat and fever, which is really bad timing I must say! 

In the next two days we need to finish wrapping presents, pack for Virginia Beach (Bec and boys will not return to IN), open presents on Saturday, go over what we want to ship one more time, and then drive to the beach on Sunday.  Please pray that she will heal or cowgirl up very quickly (hopefully she won't read this before she gets well or this may be my last blog entry)...
