Dec. 28, 2012 Well, 2 days after the "storm" we still have snow. Much of Canada got snow on Boxing Day according to the Weather Network. And (hallelujah!) we got to use our snowshoes today. My husband worked on Boxing Day and because of the storm we didn't do too much, although we did go for a walk in the wind. Other than that, today was the first day that I didn't have to go anywhere or be anywhere following the holiday. I wish I had more days like this! Tomorrow I think we're visiting a friend & their new house. New Year's Eve we've been invited to 2 parties, however I think we will only be able to make it to one. Hope my sister got home today safe & sound. My daughter was some upset that she couldn't go home with her for 14 days. She thinks that my sister and her pets should come and live with us forever. (teehee--5 year olds are so cute sometimes!) Until next time... D.

Dec. 14th - 10 days until the Man with the Bag arrives (if you don't know that song, look it up) and I'm not done my shopping. Nothing is wrapped. I'm almost in full-blown panic mode. I only just got my photo cards printed and addressed today. Most of them will be in the mail tomorrow. Now is really the time when I wish I had powers like Samantha the Witch and could stop time, even for a little while. And if we don't get any snow we won't get to use our snowshoes for the 2nd year in a row. Oh, poop! Guess we'll have to trek up to Huntsville to visit my sister. Now that makes me smile. Until next time... D.

Well, Little Laura arrived one month before her due date, healthy and happy. I was privileged to be able to take her first "official" photos a few weeks ago. She still seems so tiny but was 6lbs 6oz in this photo. Until next time... D.
