Share Four Somethings-January 2022

I have been pretty quiet this month, not posting very much. It's not for a lack of "want to" but more of a "freeze up" when I attempt to write anything. This happens when I am dealing with a heavier dose of depression, I always get quiet, apparently so do my thoughts when it comes time to talk. It seems like forever since my last post on sharing four somethings, even though time still seems to be moving at a rapid pace. Anyway, welcome back to share four somethings, a monthly link-up hosted by Heather Gerwing (thank you Heather!) where you literally share four somethings on the fourth Saturday of the month. The categories are Something Loved, Something Gleaned, Something Braved, and Something Achieved (new topics for a new year!). Even if you do not participate in the link-up, I would love to hear your four somethings from the last month. 

Snow fun!!!

Well, we are on day 2 of our winter storm. I can't believe how much snow we have. It has been years since we have had so much snow in Charlotte. We had a huge ice/snow storm in 2002 and I remember because I had just had Kayla a few weeks before. The next snow storm we had was when Kayla was about 18 months old. We left the country when Elijah was 22 months old, and he never saw snow before we left.
I am very thankful for the snow storm we are having. I know it might sound silly and most people are not thrilled with it, but I am truly thankful for it. This is the most snow my kids have ever seen! Kayla doesn't remember the storm of 2002 and the big snow when she was 18 months old, but they will remember this one. When we were in Africa it was too warm to snow and in Singapore it was too hot to snow. They saw fake snow at the Science Centre in Singapore, but that doesn't count. They've seen flurries here and there over the last few years...but this is the first REAL snow that they will remember. And, I am thankful that God gave us this gift before we move to Greece...where we will probably not see much snow! Pictures from today's snow fun....
Can you see the bird sitting in the cul-da-sac in this top two pictures??? I thought it was so funny!
