Well, Christmas has come and gone. It was a good one for us, better than I thought, thanks to our family. We were a little worried about having the money to get anything for the girls, their aunties made up for it in spades! Esther is presently having a blast with all the toys, which, combined with everything else they've spoiled her with, are overflowing her toy bin.
Little Taemarin is getting more alert by the day. It would be so fun to take her outside to see the trees and birds and sunshine...but it's freezing outside. Esther hates being cooped up all the time. We have boots and snow clothing for her, but she has a cold right now. If she's better by the next snowstorm, then she and Daddy can go out and make a snowman. Daddy got some new boots and gloves for Christmas, so he can have fun with the girls.
We had family over for Christmas and New Years. Mark's kids went sledding off the hill into the park. They had a lot of fun despite the cold.
And now, the holidays are over, we're totting up the cost, and dreading the cold darkness still to come. Depression comes all too easily these days, with the sun in hiding. I usually love snow, but right now all it means is that I'm trapped inside.
Spring will come soon enough, I hope. Until then, I guess we'll just have to make the best of it. It is giving me opportunity to finish some projects, like crocheting and sewing.
Eventually, I'll post some pictures. Till then, if you want to see what the girls are up to, email me and I'll send you some directly!
The girls are calling. Back to the trenches.
