Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Yesterday we were at 75F, today, right now, there is snow falling. Gotta love Colorado! Yesterday we were able to get out and play at a pumpkin patch, so at least we got to enjoy the warm weather. We also had a nice family walk last night :)
The pumpkin patch was..."interesting". It was through another meetup.com group I am in, I have only been to one other event. Anyhoos, not the friendliest bunch yesterday. There was a couple there who we met before, and they didn't even acknowledge me! Granted, I wasn't in the mood to ask questions and pretend to be interested in the answers, so we stayed and played a little and then booked it home. I might try the group again at a later date, but we'll see. I like my Friday play group. The ladies are great, the kiddos are great, just a good time. Tomorrow there are more moms coming, which is great, but their kids are a bit older and I am worried Delanah will be left in the dust. I say don't mess with a good thing, but you never know, maybe I'll really click with one of the new moms!

So yesterday I watched a Dr. Phil on teenage girls and promiscuity. Oh my goodness I was shocked into silence! That's pretty hard to do! Girls as young as 10 getting recruited by older teen girls to prostitute themselves...kids having intercourse on the dance floor at school dances...seriously! Dave thinks we should move to Dubai when Delanah gets older :) It just made me realize what a huge job I have ahead of me. It's my job to make sure that I teach Delanah to respect herself, that modesty is a good thing, that conducting yourself as a lady will attract a much better man. There are so many pressures on kids these days and it's such a big responsibility as a parent. When Delanah was only a few days old Dave started reading the book "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters" and I love that he is preparing himself now. We are also looking into a class through church that is going to help guide us in activities we can do with her to introduce her the God and the bible. I think we're starting a good foundation...but man, there are a lot of obstacles out there.
