My Dad has been working up in Show Low so on the weekends my Mom and brother have been going up to see him. He rented a cabin for 5 months so we could come visit him and it was so nice! We left around 8pm and got in around 11:30... which was great since the girls slept :) The first day there wasn't much snow, David and Ryan hit the slopes... I was still battling a sinus infection so sadly I had to pass. So it was just my Mom the girls and me. Gigi played in the little snow there was...
Ella zoomed around the kitchen backwards in her walker!
As the day went on a storm came in... high winds a ton of snow... and my sister and her hubby made it past the rim just before they closed it. The road conditions were terrible and praise God they made it safely! Unfortunately my older sister and her hubby didn't make it up after the storm hit there was no going in or out... we sure missed them :(
The next morning we all woke up and saw snow EVERYWHERE! We had planned to go to church to hear our old student pastor speak... but we couldn't leave... we had also planned to hit the slopes but without chains our car wasn't going to make it up the mountain. So we improvised... all 7 of us had our own little "church" we dug deep into the scriptures in 1 Timothy and it was such a nice time spent as a family. After "church" everyone went out to play in the snow!
David and gigi made a snowbaby and the boys of course played some crazy rough games... Ella and Mommy stayed in to keep warm and I was so close to finally being freed of the sinus infection!!!
After they were practically frozen, everyone came in for lunch. David and Dan grilled some burgers and dogs OUTSIDE in the snow haha and we all enjoyed some good movies. The best part is watching my parents and seeing just how in love they are with one another!!! After 10 tough years and some separation my parents are going to be renewing their vows!! Our God is so good... we never stopped praying and they are finally living together again... the way it should be :) It is so fun to tell Gigi we are going to Nana AND Papa's house!!! Thank you Lord for your faithfulness and goodness to our family! You are a God of miracles and I am so encouraged every day by your great works!!
On the drive back, we got stuck for half an hour due to an accident... I took the time to snap some photos of the snow... God's beautiful creation leaves me breathless!!
We are looking forward to going back again and hopefully hitting the slopes... as nice as it is to spend the weekend up there it will be nice when my parents are back down here in the valley... and closer to us :)

It brought me to tears reading about your parents. Healing marriages are one of the most profound miracles in my opinion. What a blessing it is know of people willing to go through all the hard work! I will continue to pray for them!
The pics are great too of course!
