Let it snow!

We all enjoyed a real treat today!

It is so rare to see any snow in the Deep South.

So, when we do, it gets pretty crazy!

Schools close, cars slide all over the roads and kids go wild playing in the rare white stuff falling from the sky.

Since we homeschool, I had told the kids last night that if the local school district closed today, then we would too.

Imagine their delight when they rubbed their sleepy eyes to take a peek out of the window.

SNOW!

So, snow day it was!

Go Wheelcats!

This past Saturday was incredible!

Sam David recently joined our state's only youth wheelchair basketball team.

His team is composed of boys ages 4-18.

Watching the two teams work so hard and play with such effort was quite a sight to see!

The game was a nail biter that kept us on the edge of our seats.

Our hard working team ended up coming just a bit short, but only after going into double overtime!!!

Just look at that smile!

Left Ya Hangin'

I know, I know....

It has been FOREVER since my last post.

I am reminded almost daily that I desperately need to update the ole blog.

Well, you know what they say - Life Happens!

And, life surely has been happening in the Phelps household!

But, it's also hard to process everything that is floating around in my head since returning home from China with our precious Emma Claire.

God is working on me and I am just trying to sit back, relax and listen.

That is hard.

I've actually started the same post numerous times and just couldn't really get out what I was trying to say.

I know that He has burdened my heart for orphans worldwide and what road that leads me down, we shall see...

But, for now, check out our first official family portrait. Finally Complete!

And, of course, here all of the kiddos in their beautiful Chinese Silks.
