Whew! I haven't disappeared forever and am glad to be getting back to this blog. Nothing major has kept me away - just the wilds of life! Blessed family visits, holiday baking and gifting, daily homemade meals, comforting a teething babe, trying to get some laundry done with a washer and dryer that are, well, a bit past their prime, loosing track while trying to count the dust bunnies.
Life is full!
Here are few of my favorite things that have made me smile recently:
On the morning of St. Nicholas Day, Sophia woke up and told me she saw Santa at the window last night.
On Daddy's birthday he made homemade bratwurst with the new sausage stuffer I found on Craig's List. Es schmecht wie Deutschland - echt!
With my mom in town, I was able to take Sophia sledding on the dyke on a very windy and cold morning. She insisted on going down by herself. (This is a dyke and is rather steep.) Halfway down, clearly terrified, she lets go of the handles of the sled, and as the ground levels off at the bottom is thrown face first into the snow, and then flips over. She was very upset and I felt terrible for her. My loving arms and some hot cocoa helped smooth over the adventure. At the same time, it was the most hilarilous thing I have seen in a long time. If I'd had a video camera I surely would post that adventure video here!
I told my sister that I was wishing for a butter bell and a rebounder for Christmas this year and she had no idea what I was talking about.
Holiday Blessings,
and I'll be back sooner this time!!
