Yesterday felt like a solidly appropriate winter day. First thing was first, though.
Brady’s work van had quit running on Thursday morning. He had started it for the first time all Christmas break on Wednesday night, and all had been well. And then, Thursday morning, nothing. He tried to boost it from our van, but no dice. It didn’t even turn over. Thankfully, Brady was able to get to work Thursday and Friday with our bus and just a few tools without complication. One of our awesome neighbours really showed up for us, and helped Brady work and diagnose out vehicle, and got us all set up with a new starter. We are constantly in awe of the amazing community we have around us!
Not only did he play an integral role in the repair of Brady’s work van, but then invited our children to join him and his son on the quad! They accepted super happily!!
Yesterday was also Waverly’s first time out in full winter gear, and she was pretty eager!
She enjoyed it completely 🙂 Until she got cold, but even then, she was happy.
I liked observing the crossover out the window, too 💕 She may be too little to quad but she fit right in.
All in all, I don’t love winter, but there are things that make it more survivable. Less miserable. And some of that is the people around us who put into our family without having to.
Pink snowsuits also make winter better. Just sayin.
