Birthdays

This is a busy time in our church for birthdays. We have four people this week I think that have a birthday. One of those of course is Jonathan. He is getting very excited for his upcoming birthday on Sunday, and I am having a hard time realizing that he is turning nine. I talked to Dad earlier today and he said they were having a snowstorm in Arkansas and might get 5-8 inches. It took me back to that weekend after Jonathan was born almost nine years ago when a storm dropped up to a foot of snow in the NW Arkansas and NE Oklahoma region. We were snowed in at the hospital in Tahlequah with a tiny baby who was very jaundiced. Now nine years later we are sitting here in the great white north with about a foot and a half of snow on the ground(not much of it new). It is amazing to think of how far we have come in just a few short years.
