One day this week I stepped into the courtyard between warehouse and assembly and realized that it was a crisp, sunny winter day. The cold air choked my lungs and stung in my nose, then hung in the air when I exhaled. As it did everything made sense: it's January and I miss winter.It snowed a bit Friday night and Saturday everything was white. It was going to be regional ski trip weekend but a sick kid and iffy travel prevented long-distance guests from getting here. Frauenbergers came for the day, though, and we had quite a bit of fun. Maia's getting big and it's cool to see everything she does and know that Carter will be doing those things soon. The two of them playing piano was a highlight.
Last weekend was a three-day because both KNL and ASD celebrate Martin Luther King Jr's legacy with a day off. We elected to focus on the basement, cleaning, clearing, and purging. We set up a baby jail for Carter and made quite a bit of headway, largely because of the mother of all shop vacs which was my birthday gift from Jenelle and Carter.
