The snow is still here

And so is the ice. Our "dry creek" is running, even under the snow and ice.

Some of the smaller trees are bent over with the ice.

The "redneck open sleighing" has been good this time. We haven't ruined the bottom of the sleds. That's J behind A on Lady.

This is what happens when it rains on top of snow and then freezes. It's hanging over about 3-4 inches, maybe even 5 in places.

Well, several of the families from our O have their children home. When the director gets her steam back, she'll head back down to try to get the other 12 who were already matched with parents, visas. Her husband is trying to find suitable housing and may have found something but hasn't heard back from the owner yet. We'll see. I'm still praying that all the children who were already adoptable before the quake will get humanitarian parole. Check this blog out; www.debraparker.typepad.com Pray for Ronel, our O's 12 and the rest of the kids. One of our O's kids is stuck in Miami. How about that? He got to the states and they won't let him go home.

R is planning on heading west tomorrow. My dad will ride/drive with her and then fly back. That's the current change subject to plan. It's a shame that these kids can't be together since they're married and he's deploying on the 21st. Sigh...I'll keep you posted.
