Overnight we received about a foot of snow and awoke to the news that schools were closed! Since Rebecca works on Fridays at a school for the deaf, that meant both Mommy and big sister had a snow day on Katherine's birthday!
Katherine maximized the time with Mommy by reducing the length of her naps to the absolute minimum, and Elisabeth ventured out in the snow (sans sister) to climb, play and roll in the wonderful white stuff.
[I'm told that my laptop is on its way back from the service center to me, and when it arrives, we'll be sure to post pictures of the birthday girl and her big sister!

"Read more!" Elisabeth exclaimed, but I couldn't. I had just read these words:
"'There was a real railway accident,' said Aslan softly. 'Your father and mother and all of you are - as you used to call it in the Shadowlands - dead. The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning.'
And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; but the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them. And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they all lived happily ever after. But for them it was only the beginning of the real story. All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth had read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before."These are the final words of C.S. Lewis' The Last Battle. There is no more of Narnia to read (except to re-read!); but what a love for literature - and the Reality to which it points - it has inspired in Elisabeth!
