March, finally

Wow! Is it March already? Hard to believe since we got dumped with some more snow. Thankgoodness the warm weather has remained though.
Friday we made a real quick decision to go to Brandon for the weekend. We were planning to this weekend but after a phone call from our renters, we knew we needed to head out so Steve could shovel off our Brandon house roof.
So we watched the internet to see if they would open the trans canada, since it was closed. As soon as they opened we headed out. A two hour drive turned into a four hour one. The amount of cars in the ditch prooved the roads probably weren't too safe. There was a semi accident right if front of us. They would let no one through and we sat there for 45 minutes. Thankgoodness the kids were entertained and didn't fuss too much. But we got to Brandon safetly. Aidan, our little boy of faith prayed to God for our safe travels.
On another note, Aidan and Cassidy have really embraced everything to do with God and Jesus lately. It is rather encouraging to hear there conversations and there understanding. Cassidy on the way to Brandon saw the sunset and let us know God was pushing away the clouds and painting a picture.
Our quick trip to Brandon was good. The kids had fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa. We drove around the city to see what was new. We had not been there for five months. Steve did some work on our house there and sunday we went to our old church.
Before we headed out, the kids spent the morning at the library. Steve takes them often because he is really into Manitoba history and likes getting new history books. Then they played outside in there snow castle.
