Let it snow, and snow, and snow...

After getting a foot of snow yesterday, we woke up this morning to even more of it! Yesterday, the snow was very fine and blowing. When Thomas and I took Chester for a walk, it hurt our faces. But today, there are great big flakes slowly falling in all directions. It's very pretty. At least it is lightweight--makes for easy shoveling. We had to quickly shovel this morning so Chris could bring Nolan to basketball at 8am. Thomas and I are being lazy and hanging around here until swim lesson at 11am.

Swim lessons haven't been going as well lately. They keep changing the teacher Thomas has, and it's like starting all over again. He has trust issues. Today is the last session, then I think we'll take a break from it for a little while. We are ending our YMCA membership, so we may start taking lessons at the high school in a couple months. I think he still likes it and is good at it if he just had a consistent teacher. He mentioned a couple days ago that he'd like to try baseball again. So maybe we'll give it another shot in the spring.

We've been busy with a lot of Christmas prep. We've been running to the grocery store a lot and baking. We're having dinner with neighborhood friends tonight and a breakfast with Santa at church tomorrow. I'm hoping Chris will occupy the boys this afternoon so I can finish the baking and start wrapping. Monday night we have Christmas Pageant practice, and Tuesday the boys have their Christmas parties at school. Mary Ellen gets to town and we have dinner at Annie's house. Wednesday we leave for Moira to spend Christmas with the folks!

So if I don't get to blogging until after Christmas, Merry Christmas! May you find true happiness among friends and family and enjoy the whole New Year in love and peace.
