Sorrow

It’s been awhile since I have been here. I needed to take a little time off from blogging as my mom passed away on February 5th and we just needed some time to adjust. My mom had been living with us for not quite two years. I thought it would be a big adjustment when she first came. I knew it was hard on her leaving her home, and it was very different for us, but we all adjusted and it ended up being a very good move for her. She loved to sit on the sofa and hold Claires’s hand and talk to her. She also was a favorite with Bella as she always gave her chocolate. One thing I can say for my mom is she never complained and was in good spirits almost all the time and it was very difficult to lose her. It was nice that we had all the time we did together this past year and a half. We learned so many things about her that we had never known before since we spent so much time with her and she spoke so much about her past. We are glad for the time we had her here with us and do miss her very much.

Snow and Ice

It’s been so long since I have been on here. We had a nice Christmas and then a busy January. January has ended here with a lot of very cold weather and ice and snow. Lots of ice. I am so ready for this to all end, but the girls have had a lot of fun sledding and trying to build an igloo. Bethany has really enjoyed it since she realized she could ice skate on the road. It is perfect – just a solid sheet of ice on our entire road.

I think it’s going to warm up in the next few days so it will probably all melt. I will not miss it, but it has been pretty and I did really enjoy watching the girls skate. Evelyn even came over and skated a little. It is so unusual for us to have all this ice and it was really exciting for all my kids and grandkids.
