Well, we returned from our California vacation and Thanksgiving in St George to make it in time for this season's first big storm. the kids wanted to immediately play outside, but I was still trying to get life back in order and didn't dare brave the weather. I snapped some photos from inside.
I made up for it later when I pulled the boys all the way to school on their sled. Every kid that saw us was jealous as could be. Once we got to the school grounds, I let them sled down the hill a few times before pulling them across the whole field to school. All the kids were smiling and some of them even cheered. I have to admit that even faced with the freezing cold, I had fun too! Hard not to when everyone is smiling and laughing :)
Once Dezi went in the building, I let Cai sled for another huge chunk of time while I chatted with a new friend, Ramona. She shared quite a few intense things with me (son's death, her accident, her brother, Merlin Olsen's death, etc) and I hope I was able to provide her with a bit of comfort and happiness. She gave me a hug before continuing her walk and thanked me. Opportunities for service come in surprising ways and times.
