Snowflakes are little miracles

what is it about a snowflake that makes us stop and admire with wonder and awe?

One morning as emma and i looked outside we were amazed with the beauty before us. everything the eye could see was covered with snow. . . .but as we looked closer we realized it wasn't plain old snow, everything was covered in SNOWFLAKES. all the trees branches, roof tops, fences and benches, even the antenna of our van was lined with these beautiful little masterpieces.

snowflake fact
*no two snowflakes are alike

*yet each is magnificently symmetrical and intricate

*snowflakes are a form of water ice formed around a spec of dust

whenever you see snowflakes you are seeing millions of little miracles, at least that is how emma and i felt this magical morning in Feburary.

we caught them on our tongues

they got caught in emma's hair and on her eye lashes

just look at that winter wonderland
how perfect that she has snowflakes on her coat too!

magnificent isn't it?

my sweet girl
we gathered up some of the fluffly white stuff and made homemade snow cones with strawberry syrup. i was a delicious treat and a perfect way to end a magical morning together.

this moment of motherhood was heaven sent
i love my you my sweet emma

  Tender Mercy 08.14.2019 Our dear friend David Higginson who was a missionary in our Ward a few years before Will got his call was so kind to clear his schedule to meet Will at the SLC airport, take him out for lunch and then drop him off at the MTC. Here is what he posted about the experience: This is Will Boehme, I met him while I was serving my mission in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. I had the opportunity today to take Will into the MTC today so that he can prepare for his own mission in Scottsdale, AZ. This is special because August 14th marks another year gone that I began and ended my own mission. . . and it seems like yesterday. I will never forget the experiences I had or the people, like Will and his family, that I met. Amazing how time flies. Good lucky buddy! It really was a tender mercy for us to know that Will wasn't alone as he entered the MTC.  He had a friend who really went the extra mile to feed him, calm his nerves and put a loving arm of encouragement arou

A few pictures for our Idaho friends of Southern Alberta. more wide open spaces wheat field and rainbow The Boehme farm....where we now live The Boehme Farm...at sunset *We moved home to Lethbridge, Alberta Canada on 08.02.2008!* We loaded up the UHAUL on Friday, Aug. 1st, and did all the cleaning in one evening. Thank you to each of you for your help with that crazy day! No one can move on their own and we felt so blessed for all the hands that helped in so many ways. We stayed at the Campbells home overnight (thanks guys for all the memories) and then got up the next morning and were on our way by 9:00am. The trip was long and tiring, but as we crossed the border into Canada I was filled with a wonderful peaceful feeling that the timing was right and that after 5 years of being away. . .we were home to stay.
