Delights of the Day

8-10 inches of snow. Over the twins knees, up to Jazz's chest and delightfully fluffy. Just perfect for snowballs. The snowplow piles mounds over our heads all along the street and even so helpfully in our front and side yard. Perfect for adventures, impromptu sliding hills, and forts.

Iain Provan's lectures on the prophets in the Old Testament. I LOVE this man. Hmmmm. Or at least his insights into Scripture.

A hot cup or two of chocolate flavored coffee at the Loaf and Ladle.

The Dining Hall... one of the best perks of this job. Blackened Mahi Mahi, a fresh salad from the salad bar, hot chocolate, fresh fruit and cake and ice cream for dessert. All with no prep and no clean up. After 10 years of cooking from scratch... you can imagine my delight.

Kev ran his first 10 minute mile, non-stop.

Louisa auditioned for the Drama Club at school. Her speech is near perfect now, and her confidence high. Such a change from when she was 4, or 6 or even 8.

Joe finished his first term of Algebra 1 with Honors. (A longer story, but he was finally allowed to replace his 6th grade math program with this distance education course, all done on-line at a computer station within his regular math class.) His comment (and our delight)... "Math is not really a class to me. It is just something I like to do for fun."

Not a delight... listening to the twins talk to each other 1 1/2 hours after their supposed bedtime. Guess I better go do something about that.
