First Snow

Micah got to experience his memorable first snow this week. Here is a shot of the first snow ball he got to throw. Dad had to make it because of the limited dexterity he has with mittens. Since the first toss of snow, Micah has been obsessed. Each time we put him in the car, he makes me (dad) make a snow ball and throw it at the car window. Then all the way home, he talks about how the snow hit the car.
Julie also took some pics of Micah next to our humble tree. We are so blessed to have ornaments from Korea, China and Cambodia adorning our tree. What stories they will be for our children.
In a bit of dichotomy, the Brownlee family is headed to Hawaii today. Our next post will be full of fun in the sun and throwing rocks at the beach.

Thanksgiving

The whole fam traveled to Julie's brother's house in Washugal Washington to celebrate Thanksgiving. Because we will be in Hawaii for Christmas, it was a two holiday celebration that included several presents for Micah, a dominating victory in a Ping Pong tournament for Jim and a surprise upset in the Poker game from Julie.
Below are some pictures and a great video of the time we had. Thanks to the Tkach/Bechtel clan for hosting us!
