“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

It just keeps snowing and snowing and snowing and snowing.....




















As promised, here are updated pictures of the house. It just keeps snowing and hasn't stopped!!


AND....it's not going to stop until AFTER Christmas Day.


YIKES!





It's almost waist high in our back yard. The snow drifts are massive! No playing outside for the boys....we'd lose them in all the snow!!!



Still not complaining. Yet.



Stann's taken one of our neighbors on a grocery run, helped shovel driveways, is currently taking a load of wood to a family in our ward that's been without heat or power for a couple of days....



He's definately earning himself some blessings right now.



I'm trying to have a good attitude about sharing him on Christmas Eve. (I'm awful, I know it....but I am human, and this human had plans for today) And I'm trying to remind myself that we don't get to choose the time or opportunities that are given to us to serve. We just do it. :)



With that said....Here's wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, hoping your holidays will all be wonderful, bright and may you stick to your New Year's Resolutions!!!


Merry Christmas from the McNamee's!!!!

Wow Liz....did you move to Idaho? All that snow in Oregon has to be a challenge! How are people handling it?
I love your blog and check it often. It keeps me in touch. We talked to your mom and dad this morning. (Christmas night for them) Merry Christmas and thanks for the great pictures. I never would have believed it.

I know what you mean, nate's been helping pull out standed drivers wherever we go and it isn't always conveninent. I guess its better than them not wanting to help at all! Feliz Navidad

Wow, looks like you guys got the same amount of snow as we did in Vernonia! Except we don't have power. We do have an awesome generator so we're doing great. I hope you had a great Christmas!

By the way, we know the Kapser family too. We're from Teton Valley too!
