SNOW!

We woke up to SNOW this morning! We checked the news for school cancellations (not canceled) and got ready for a day at school. When we arrived at school we found this huge snowman that one of the sweet staff from church made for the WDS kids. After school we came home and played for 15 minutes. Addie was so excited to have a snowball fight and eat some snow. Now we're inside in our jammies watching a movie by the fire. Perfect day!

Then before bed she wanted to look out at it all one more time - just incase it was gone in the morning - so sweet!; Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 8:02:00 PM PST

our kids

The life of a coach and his family is one not understood by many. My favorite coach is one I'm proud to stand behind, cheer for, and work beside. I'm thrilled to haul the kids and all their gear across Texas every Friday night in the fall to be there for him. And I'm blessed that he wants us there. I love the way he searches the stands for us before every kick off, signing 'i love you' before he turns his attention to the field. I love watching him during games. I've seen him run the sidelines as his running back breaks for a touchdown. I've seen him embrace players who have just made big mistakes. I've seen him 'bump' guys that have made winning plays. I've seen him passionately discuss with other coaches. I've seen countless numbers of players come up to him after every game for a hug and a pat on the back. I've watched as young men from years past drive in from college to watch a game from the sidelines and see Coach T. And when I see all this, I know this crazy life we have is not just about winning games or going to the playoffs. It's about perseverance, integrity and character. And it's about the kids. My husband may not work at a church, but he is in the ministry and I'm proud to be the football coach's wife.
