February 2009

Last Christmas update.  I just thought this too cute to skip.  We made a whole bunch of gingerbread cookies.  Both kids decorated a lot.  Well, India made about half while Ezra ate what he made.

Often our front room gets really warm in the winter, that’s why no shirts.  Even if it is 20 degrees outside, it’s a balmy 70 in our front room.  The rest of the house is a different story.  I love all the sun, especially after living in the north side of our Victorian through Boston’s cold, long winters.  It reminds me of the sliding glass door growing up.  I used to curl up in the sun like a cat and enjoy the rays.  There are no sliding glass doors in old Victorians or Colonials, which we lived in while in Baltimore.

If you’re wondering; the sun does not shine through these windows in the summer and the house often stays nice and cool throughout the hot season.  I believe we use the swamp cooler about 15-20 days out of the year.

Christmas in February?  Well, it has taken me awhile to get everything updated since I now have a faster moving computer.  Ironic, I know.

This Christmas we spent at home and had a very special guest of Uncle Noah.  It was great having him around.  The kids love to play with him and it is really convenient having another adult in the house.  I hope he might return in March… but I think he may have missed the cheap ticket prices that were being offered by Frontier Airlines after the Super Bowl.  Some good came from watching those ads.  The in-laws and my mom got tickets for after the baby is born… Um, I’m having a baby in April, for all those of you who do not know.  I guess along with not updating the blog, this announcement has been skipped.  Sorry.

Here is what our day looked like.  Pretty fun morning!
