when we went to NY, zem saw the snow and excitedly said, "look mamam! it’s snowing!" 

then she said something that surprised me because it was from a really long ago conversation we had about the snow.  i once told her that jesus gave us the snow. 

so this time, she really remembered that one conversation and added, "thank you Jesus for the snow."
