Comments to go with John's post!

For some reason, blogger won't let me edit the post of pictures that John just added to the blog.

Yes that is SNOW that you see and yes we are still in FLORIDA??? So how did the two meet? My cousin Jack is stationed at Hurlburt Airforce Base about 40 minutes from here. He was home the weekend of March 1st visiting his family in Memphis, TN. March 1st was also Julia's birthday. As we were finishing up her birthday dinner, we got a phone call from Jack telling us that he had a surprise for the kids. The night before it snowed 8 inches in Memphis. Jack put a cooler out to catch the flakes throughout the night. The next day when he hit the road to travel back, he packed the cooler in the back of his truck with snow all around it to keep it cold. He arrived about 8 at night and the snow was still snow! The kids did not know what he was bringing and boy were they surprised. Sterling had never seen snow and it had been about 3 years since the girls had seen snow. The had an AWESOME time with the snow Jack! In fact, Sterling asked Jack today if he could go back to his house and bring some more snow....guess we need to make some trips up north next year???

Julia celebrated her 8th birthday on March 1st. How quickly time has flown! She has been such a blessing in our lives...our little baby JuJu. Caroline was almost two and could not say Julia so she became JuJu for a bit. She is a beautiful girl with a tremendous spirit of righteousness that blesses our home. She is a hard worker and tries so hard to always choose the right. She will be baptized at the end of the month when my mom comes to visit. She is so excited. She is a wonderful little mother to her baby brother Andrew, an awesome playmate to Sterling, and the best of friends with Caroline. How we love you baby JuJu!!

The other picture is of some "Colby" cheese. The other morning Sterling asked if he could have some "Wachovia Cheese" for breakfast...it was quite funny....

Hey, talk about snow and cheese and you bring back some huge memories for me - we lived 20 minutes from Colby Wisconsin where the cheese was invented and the snow stays around FOREVER! ha ha! Glad we have moved!
