November Snow

Our resident beaver was making himself a little too comfortable. The pond was starting to flood. So now the beaver is trapped and skinned and we got to watch the breaking up of the dam by heavy equipment!

Right before our big snow. You can see the mountains were ready!

Our new mouser Rajah really loves Norah...even though she tries to kill him daily!

This little man is almost always smiling! If you place him in the middle of a blanket he will have used his legs to push himself across it within minutes! He just needs to figure out the use of his arms. :)

The snow is here! We got around a foot in a night & a day. Evie's snowpants are mysteriously lost in our house at the moment, so the snow outside remains mostly untouched by little footprints. (They are like their mother anyways: huge lovers of the outdoors but only if the temperature remains above freezing!)
November as a whole is pretty quiet this year around camp - last year it was quite busy so it differs from year to year. There will be plenty of snow removal duties for everyone, though, so they shouldn't get too bored. :)
Evie came down with an ear infection over the past weekend and we made the drive to town to see the doctor on partially unplowed roads and lots of fresh snow. The highway was cleared  much better by the time we drove home in the dark, but we are thankful for snow tires and 4-wheel drive!

Ways you can be praying right now:
-For safety for staff members on the roads & around camp with all the new snow
-For wisdom & discernment as Justin and the program staff discuss next summer and any program changes that may need to take place
-Though there is a lot going on at camp, it is far too easy for me to get my focus stuck inside my own little bubble. Please join me in praying for the recovery from typhoon Haiyan that hit the Philippines, and the many hurting survivors who lost loved ones. Please pray also for North Korea at this time to be freed from the evil that is going on there. Pray for God's love & power to be shown in both these places right now!
