I guess I don't have to explain the title of this post, if you are even somewhat coherent you know the type of winter we have been having. It has snowed and snowed and snowed...
The calming effect snow usually has on me wore off sometime after the first 100 inches softly fell over us. That feeling soon changed to panic! How could the local grocery stores possibly be able to keep enough bread, milk and eggs on the shelves!! Rage has now replaced panic as my current state of mind as each impending snow storm is putting my sanity to the test.
Meanwhile:
The Robins flew in.. and I thought , there is hope!
That was a few storms back. Have not seen or heard them since. I fear the worst.
Also we lost our Fancy Bear Gerbil ,Gus Gus. And because he chose to kick the bucket when there was no less than 4 feet of snow on the ground he "Laid in State" for a few days as we tried to figure out what the hell to do with him. He was too big too flush and too good for the garbage. We decided to pack him on ice til the ground is visible (maybe by June) and give him a proper burial. So Gus Gus is wrapped in a beautiful glass jar in the snow on the deck til he can join the cat and various fish pets we have buried around the yard.
On to the humans
They're all fine and driving me crazy.
The girls are dancing, Bella is flipping and Andrew is still disgusted that we had only one boy.
We've been playing host family to Liv's friend Jorge, an up and coming dancer/choreographer from Philly, who will soon take the world by storm.
We love him and are trying to figure out how to keep him forever. Of course his real family might have a problem with that ;) He's a blessing and a joy who came to us at a time when we really needed a breath of fresh air. He really deserves his own post. I think he is expecting it, Soon... Soon Jorge!!! I promise!
And the star of the show,Emilia Faith... is still running things around here. Her boundless energy keeps us all exhausted, her beauty astonishes us, her appetite to learn is ferocious! She dances and sings and is living the life! She's also very naughty and spends a lot of time in time out...
She is loving school and working diligently on potty training both at school and home. We are trying the tag team method.
She is the Princess of Lippitt Elementary School. Loved by all. And patiently tolerated by the ones she chooses to bully... But, she is improving daily on her inappropriate contact with friends.
This has been a long and stressful winter. We have gotten through on faith, humor and Jorge..(we really love the boy)
Looking forward to spring, things that are green and warmer temps.
