Starfish Dreams

Is winter done yet?

We are all healthy – hooray!  That's the good news. We've had sickness going around, but we're all doing better. We are tired of the cold, cold weather. Even 35 degrees would be nice, but we have been seeing temps of 2-10 degrees at night and 20+ degrees for highs. Brr!

We have had some GREAT snow though – wow! The kids have had a great time snowboarding down a little hill close to us and 3 of the kids have actually done “real” skiing/snowboarding up in the mountains with their school classes. And – we finally met the normal average for snowpack – yeah! Only five more years of good snowpack until the drought is over (ha!)

The baby is getting less fussy - hooray!  Her sleep is not a lot improved, but she is no longer crying every waking moment.   In fact, she is smiling more - enough that we can sometimes even capture a smile or two on camera.  She laughed for the first time just a couple of weeks ago.  At 7 months, she is delayed, but not as delayed as our daughter, E - she was 11 months old when she laughed for the first time!  (For those of you who may not know or remember, she has hydranencephaly, meaning she is missing most of her brain.)
