Good Monday
to you all.
I am trying
to be better about blogging as I have a lot on my mind and I want to share it….
God help you
all…
It is the
Monday after a long weekend and I am glad to be back at work.
We had a
pretty major winter storm move through on Thursday of last week and it dumped
about 4 inches of snow here in the metro area. Now those of you who live in
areas where you get snow all the time are laughing right now.
4 inches of
snow… really?
Yep really… I
was at a conference for work on Thursday and it took me almost 4 hours to drive
the 30 miles home and throw in a brief 20 min stop to pick up my boys… so you
can see... we don’t handle snow very well here in Oklahoma. My wife was at work
on Thursday and it took 3 hours to get home.
Anyway...
Aside of the traffic and other headaches that are associated with winter
weather in Oklahoma we did get to get out and play with the boys in the snow!
This is only their second time to see the white stuff. The first was last
Christmas at my Dad’s in Idaho. We took them out and pulled them on their
sleds. They didn’t know exactly what to think about the white stuff and kind of
became stiff. Oh well, I think as they get older they will get to where they
are inseparable from the snow when we get it.
We also
loaded the boys up on Saturday and took them to the Oklahoma Train Show at the
State Fairgrounds. The boys really enjoyed the trains and of course every train
that they saw was Thomas! They are just starting to get into Thomas the Train
and haven’t learned the other characters yet so anything that looks like a
train is considered to be Thomas to them! It is cute to see them starting to
recognize stuff they are reading and to watch the gears turning in their
brains. I have a feeling as the boys get older that we will have at least one
train set in our house! I think that it is almost guaranteed!
On Sunday we
got to go have Turkey dinner at me maw’s house! I married into a family of
great cooks and while I have gained some weight I am very appreciative of the
great food!
The boys
always love going over to the Grandmas’ because they get spoiled and they
pretty much have free rein of the house!
Well that
was pretty much the weekend.
Hope
everyone has a great week!
Be safe and
slow down!
Bryan.
