Snow Angel

I have a story for ya! ;)

It was very early on a snowy January morning. We're out and about, all 6 of us...it was still dark...about 5 AM to be exact. Paper route. :)

We were close to finishing up. On one of the last streets. And Logan wants to get out and help. So he runs around with Zach, tossing papers. Then suddenly he flops himself down in someone's driveway and does a snow angel. We're all like, "Get up Logan! Come on!", laughing at him!

About a week after that day we get a card in the mail from somebody on our route. Now this was not unusual. We had gotten tons of cards and tips in the mail from our people on our route. It was really neat...like Christmas every day! So we open this particular card and what do we find when we read it?

Dear Allen & Julie Lake,
I am an elderly lady (almost 70) and not in very good health.
I want to thank you for your good service in delivering my paper.
And also for the snow angel in my drive way early morning on Jan. 7th. :)

Neat huh?! It's amazing how the little things, that we think are so insignificant can mean so much to another person.

Paper Route

Just got home from the paper route. This morning was quite eventful!

First, we are driving down one of our streets; Annie's out running and tossing papers. All of a sudden she stops though and we all look at her wondering what in the world she's doing. Then we see where she's looking...she had thrown a paper and it landed on the roof of the house!! I still have no idea how she got it up there, seriously! I laughed so hard!

Second, we drop off Zach and Annie at the begining of one of the small streets and Mom and I drive down to the end of it. We came up with an efficent time saver where we ride on the outside of the van instead of having to open and close the door all the time. So that's what I'm doing. And we go down to the end and I go to get off, a little too soon...my foot didn't exactly catch me like I though it was going to and my back side meets the pavement! So...I'll most likely have a bruise there now. HaHa!

Oh and Zachary has officially nicknamed himself 'The Heart of a Warrior'. He claims that we would never be able to get through the paper route if it wasn't for his awesome skill! Ha!
