praise God you have cars and can drive north to the snow!

Love your letter to Iliya, you are the best mommy!

You can always go visit the snow!

Looks like a good time was had anyway. You did get a good bit more snow than we did 'way up north in Scottsboro! I like the snow you added to the slide show!
Blessings,
Pam Parker

P. S. --- I love (just noticed) the new family photos you added to the bubble-share slide show on the left side of your layout. They bring that photo-journal up to date in a beautiful way!
Praise the Lord for your beautiful family!
Blessings,

Looks like he had fun with the little bit you had. Cute slideshow and letter.

Cute pictures! And the snow effects???? Very nice touch! You are so creative. Iliya appears to be a very happy boy! I'm sure that he doesn't mind the mild weather. Have you seen what type of weather they are having in Vlad right now? Yikes!

I had to come by your blog and catch up after a long absence from blog land. I love the various posts from the one about gravity on. Good to hear that your PPR #1 is completed. How did it feel to be sending paperwork to CHI again already? YUK! Not looking forward to that one. I am a bit envious of the sweepable snow you all have. I got a great back workout shoveling last week. This week, after a 40 degree warm up over the weekend, all that was slush is now ice and not shovelable. I thought my housekeeper would kill herself on the walk coming up to the house today. She made it but I did think of calling the insurance to make sure we are covered in the event of a fall! I am trying to get some pics up this week at least. We had professional pictures done in Anchorage this weekend. I hope to post them this week too. My husband didn't shave or smile for them. I guess I should have paid better attention to getting all 4! of my kids ready for pictures. Oh well?! Speaking of Fed EX ... I could seriously send you all the good ol' Alaskan snow/ice chunks you want. Less for me to shovel! :) Hope you all are doing well! Love, Alicia

Iliya is so adorable. I agree with others that not having snow gives you a reason to take a Winter vacation. I too wish we got more snow too. I enjoy my warmer falls and springs, so I guess I'll just make do.

Thank you for the post on our blog. We have been following your journey for awhile now, even though I haven't posted a comment. I've gotten many good ideas from reading your blogs and you give us hope and inspiration for hanging in there! Iliya is so adorable and you all look so happy! Hope you don't mind, but we are adding you on our blog?
Thanks!

Very sweet!
