And so Christmas is over and a New Year has arrived. Welcome 2008!
All was truly wonderful, probably the best Christmas I can remember, but I'm glad to be back to a routine. I should say, I'm glad that the kids are back to their routine. Makes life alot less hectic....
After the New Year, my folks have made their journey south to Florida where they'll stay until the snow melts up here in New England. We are planning on going down this year to visit, just not really sure exactly when. We wanted to take the kids during school vacation in February; unfortunately things are a bit crazy for Mike at work right now. But no worries, we'll get there. We won't do alot of touristy stuff, just want to soak in that sunshine, but definitely will do one day at Disney & bring the kids to Sea World. Fun stuff....
We are in the middle of a January thaw. Yesterday was 64 degrees, today it's about 62. Almost all of our snow, exposing leaves I didn't rake, is gone. There's no doubt in my mind that global warming is real, but for a girl who hates snow it's hard to complain about the welcome Spring temps. Seems almost cruel to have these beautiful days in the middle of winter. Because it's only a tease, thanks Mother Nature!. No doubt that soon we'll be plunged back into the artic air that usually surrounds us this time of year.
Hmmmmm, think I'll share a few more pics from the holidays & then go out and enjoy this beautiful day. Who knows, might snow tomorrow, lol.
