A Sunday in Pictures

Eric's parents sent over an adorable

little church outfit for Sammy. 

Because I absolutely love it, I just had to post a few pictures.

 This was one of the many family photo attempts...

I didn't have much to choose from,

so I finally just chose the funniest.

And it's not my corny fake smile that I am talking about.

Take a closer look at Anna...

 Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks?

Valentina with the kids. 

Valentina and Sammy.

(Did you know that she was at our house for the births

of both Lydia and Sammy?)

Yuri and Vladamir

It snowed this morning.  The girls were so excited. 

I could barely drag them away from the windows

to get them ready this morning!

Every time it snows it makes such a huge difference in the landscape that all we can think about is the blood of Christ

how it covers all of our sins and makes us white as snow.

I wanted to take a picture, but the snow had already melted

by the time we got home from church.

Can't wait for it to make everything beautiful again!
