The nasty winter storm leaves many still digging out. School was cancelled today for the third day in a row. Shayla isn't concerned that we have to make these days up later. As you can see, she's a winter kind of gal. We were so blessed to have Shayne at home yesterday. Shayne & Shayla played outside for hours yesterday.

WOW it sure looks like you had fun, Shayla!! And lucky you that you don't have to go to school again, eh? This must be a great birthday week to have only been in school once so far! :p
The snow in Ohio is nicer than the snow in NY-- so much cleaner!
Thinking of you all. Enjoy another snow day. :o)
Every time I read a Shayla story I think that her and my daughter are clones. They'd get along famously.
Looks like she had fun..
My 3 boys(15,13,9)are hoping for no school too. But in South Dakota we don't have that much snow.
They don't understand that if you don't have school because of the snow you have to go to school longer and give up part of your summer too.
Then they crab because they are still in school and other kids are not.
Wow those tunnels are neat! They had to have taken awhile. Fun stuff! Have a great snow day #3! I was back to class at 8:30 this morning...ick.
By the way, Shayla, I love your snow tunnel. SO impressive! And is the first picture one of you on a whale? or a horse? I love it! As usual, you've made my day. :o)
Wow! You did get a lot of snow! I thought we had a lot here but I'm not sure that we could build a tunnel through it. I'm glad that you don't have school as I'm sure it'd be very difficult trying to navigate the streets and such. I hope you have a snowblower!
Wow, that is a cool tunnel! My daughter Kaitlin loves the snow too.
Angela-I did follow Christi's story for almost the whole 4 years. I know I have said this many times before but I know you have so many people that post comments it has to be hard to keep up with everyone.
The reason I am signing is that I check the blog everyday. Not one day goes by that I do not think of Christi....... I miss her dearly though I never met her. Sometimes the blogs bring me to tears. Like the one where you wrote about Christi going to her room for the last time to get her bear. Others really make me smile. I'm glad you are still blogging. It's good to see how you guys are doing. Shayla is so beautiful and I know you are so proud of her. Basically I just wanted you to know that I'm still reading and it makes me feel happy everytime you put up a new blog. May God be with you......
What a cool tunnel! My kids would love it but, needless to say, we'll never be able to build one of those in Texas! You all are having quite a winter up there. Glad to see you enjoying it, Shayla. Have fun!
Christi and her trickery! I've been away this week and able to get to a computer to wish Shayla a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And the three days off was just a birthday gift to Shayla from Miss Christi!!!
Wow, the tunnel looks so cool! It looks like Shayla had a blast with daddy in the snow, lucky girl! I'm glad you've gotten some great quality time together the past 3 days. Now if only it'd snow in Florida! :) Stay Strong!
I love the igloo type snow fort that you guys made!!! We should have had a snow day here in NY but instead we nearly broke some bones making it into school today.
Although I have never met Christi, I miss her every day. She is my inspiration, and she will NEVER be forgotten.
What great tunnels...brings back memories of '78!
My children were sharing their fun experiences in the snow at school today. It is so great to hear that kids are actually playing in the drifts.
Angela, you sound a bit more chipper each time you post.
Ahh great snow tunnels Shayla. I think I need some lessons on how to build those!
I'm glad you enjoyed your snow days so much!
Angela- I hope you stayed warm in the house while the snow tunnels were being built!
I love you all!
Lots of love and prayers for always,
Heather
Now these wonderful pictures of Shayla make me miss the snow! It is 80 degrees here today in San Diego. I grew up in Tennesse so we had our share of "snow days". Back then we didn't even have to make them up!
Always thinking of you guys..especially yesterday when Karlie and I went down to the beach and released a purple baloon for her friend Lane. It would have been her 17th birthday. Karlie attached a note to the baloon. We miss her. Her ashes were spread over the ocean. On the way home I just kept thinking of you and Lane's mom and wondering how on earth you do it. I just pray for you all the time.
We love you
xoxo
Jodie and Karlie
