Winter in Minnesota

We have enjoyed our first few days in Mn. We arrived Monday (after enjoying 80 degrees Saturday in TX) in 16 degree weather. Yesterday as we left the house for winter coat shopping it was minus 2. My dear friend Connie texted me letting me know it was 72 and sunny in Tx!! Although it is cold unlike we are used to, like good Minnesotans we have enjoyed outside activities. The kids have been sledding and Jordan spent some time ice fishing with the men. They caught several so we had fish for supper last night!
Hudson is getting used to having to be bundled up when he leaves the house and of course the winter wonderland outside is beautiful to look at as we are nestled back in the woods. As my brother's family have just left to go back to Illinois we will now spend next week getting settled and getting things tied up for the kids to start school. They will start in a couple weeks as the new semester starts here then. Tx starts school a few weeks earlier so they aren't missing any days of school as our semester ended right before Christmas. We covet your prayers for our transition especially as they will begin a whole experience in public school. I know they will do fine but prayer is always appreciated.
Miss all of you back in TX.....
