Monday night we actually had a little bit of snow! It stuck to the deck outside, and Mackenzie was begging to go out and play.
Cuddling in front of the fire!

CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A "REAL" SNOW, ONE WHERE ALL THE KIDS CAN MAKE SNOW ANGELS, BUILD SNOWMEN, HAVE SNOWBALL FIGHTS AND GO SLEDDING, TOO! BUT PLEASE, NO MORE BLIZZARDS LIKE THE ONE WE HAD IN 1993(?)! MANY SUFFERED THROUGH WEEKS OF NO ELECTRICITY, FOOD NOR WATER. SADLY, AS A RESULT, THERE WERE SEVERAL DEATHS.
WE ARE SURE YOU REMEMBER MOVING TO SAN DIEGO FOR OUR LAST TOUR OF DUTY. NONE OF US REALLY WANTED TO MOVE AGAIN, BUT AS PARENTS, WE KNEW WE HAD TO MAKE THE BEST OF THE SITUATION FOR OUR CHILDREN, SO WE DECIDED TO THINK OF THIS MOVE AS OUR "BIG ADVENTURE"! BEFORE LONG WE FOUND OURSELVES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST BIG ADVENTURE, A BLIZZARD IN NEW MEXICO! WE HAD PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE FOR THE NIGHT, ONLY TO LEARN THAT THERE WERE NO ROOMS AVAILABLE AND ROADS WOULD BE CLOSED UNTIL SOMETIME TOMORROW. LUCKILY, WE HAD THE FULL-SIZED VAN WITH A BED IN THE BACK, LOTS OF PILLOWS AND BLANKETS AND A FULLY STOCKED COOLER. WE WERE LUCKIER THAN MOST, WHO SLEPT SITTING UP IN THEIR CARS ALL NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING, WE BUNDLED THE TWO OF YOU IN SEVERAL LAYERS AND YOU PLAYED IN THE SNOW FOR SOME TIME. WHEN THE POLICE OPENED THE ROADS AND WE WERE FINALLY ON OUR WAY AGAIN, YOU AND MICHELLE SLEPT FOR SEVERAL HOURS!
THAT WAS ONLY THE FIRST OF MANY BIG ADVENTURES WE EXPERIENCED IN THE NEXT FOUR NEXT YEARS, AS WE LIVED ON THE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND OF CORONADO. I PROMISE TO BEGIN MY MEMOIRS SOON. WE'VE HAD MANY GREAT ADVENTURES, AND IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO NOT PRESERVE ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS!
WE LOVED SEEING THE PICTURES OF MACKENZIE PLAYING IN THE SNOW. THE BELLY-LAUGHS ARE GREAT, WE ALWAYS LOVED HEARING MICHELLE, YOU AND ALL THE GRANDCHILDREN LAUGHING SO HEARTILY, HAPPILY AND FREE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SOUND!
WE LOVE YOU ALL,
DAD & MOM
