Yesterday it rained a little. Then we woke to a winter wonderland. Its amazing that everything can be nice all year and when it snows it seems like a renewed spirit has been added to the earth and it is a more beautiful place. It feels like a renewal of things. I love when it snows.

The kids are adjusting to the new house really well. They are muddling around now and that is nice. It is nice to be at home with them. Life seems to be getting back to normal and I am enjoying the things I used to do again. Its funny that when you are so wrapped up in building a house that the enjoyment of other things can be lost. But we are back. I think we will settle down for our long winter now and just take a break from all of the chaos. Yea-
