Let the Playdates Begin!

I had a wonderful start to my day.  I got up and went to lie down with Julia in her bed. Out of her window she has the best view of the sunrise.  The sun came up over the horse farm. In Woodstock, we had the best view of the sunset from our deck. The sun goes down over a ridge.  In the fall the trees are so vibrant.

Today is Saturday! Yay for Saturday!  I have plenty to do but that's okay.  Maggie just vomited so that kind of makes today a little less fun  :)  Especially for her :( She has fever to go along with it. I guess it's the same thing that Julia had but Maggie has a much weaker stomach, so there you go.
Dave is working in the garage, organizing again.  It's so cold out there.  He is looking for a certain tool and can't find it! It's driving him crazy! It's got to be in there somewhere.
The girls had some friends come over after school yesterday.  It was great. I think it was the first time I felt normal since we moved.  It was a warm feeling in the middle of all this cold.  Hearing the kids run and play reminded me of our home in Woodstock. I miss our Bradshaw Park n'hood children.
My friend invited me to a breakfast with some of her friends. It was great to meet this wonderful group of women. It was a lot of fun.  I did break down and cry on one of the women and had to excuse myself to the restroom. I got myself together and went out to enjoy the rest of the breakfast. I am fine. It's just going to take some more time, that's all.
 Oh man, I just  got called called to help in the garage, darn...brrr!

New York, New York, The City So Nice, They Named It Twice

-
Today we went down to the city.  We walked from the hotel to the train station.  There started the observations/people watching.  We were sitting waiting for our train and a guy loudly tells the woman next to him "I'm waiting for my friend, he's coming from Grand Central...." and he goes on.  She ignores him and scoots over. He then makes eye contact with me and repeats himself. I am thinking to myself, do I look away now and take that womans lead, respond to him, what should I do? What do I know? I am not from here. So, like a true southerner I smiled and said "that's nice".  Then he got Dave's attention and he went on to tell us about his birthday and where he grew up.  He then gave us a map and told us that he did not have any snacks for the girls but he can show us on the map how to get to the American Girl store because he thinks they will like that.  He circled on the map where we should go. Interesting. Nice guy. We then got off the train at

It's Possible

What an eventful week!  Snow and more snow and more snow and more snow. It is just crazy.  They never have this much snow.  Outside of a seafood restaurant they built a big snow lobster and spray painted it red.  It's just like building a sand castle...NOT! Wednesday the roads were really nasty.  We decided to stay at a friend's house in Somers after I picked the kids up from school.  We know them through Dave's job.  The wife so graciously took us in and fed us.  We are so blessed to have them.  I was scared to death to ride on these slushy, icy roads. Not to mention these hotel walls were getting to me, so I was happy to have a change of scenery. This is where we got our first lesson in snow shoveling.  I will post a picture of my car buried.  Luckily, the driveway was plowed for us. The snow is so thick, when Maggie walked in it yesterday she lost both of her shoes. They had a 2 hour delay at school that morning.  Maggie caught the bus with her children. The bus driver

Goodbye Skipper

-
I'm so sad to report that Skipper has gone to doggie heaven. He was in such a state of pain and unawareness that it was time to let him go. Keeping him alive would have been for us and not him. We knew what the right decision was, but it still was very hard to do. I don't think he would have been happy going in circles for the rest of his life. His neurological symptoms were not improving, but getting worse. He was such a beautiful dog. I don't think he would have been happy not being able to chase birds! Lots of things are going through our minds right now. If this, if that. How do we tell the girls? What can we do to make this easier on them? What was he feeling? If dogs could talk! Despite our ordeal with Skipper we still managed to have a lovely time with our visitors. Dave's brother and family flew in for an extended weekend! We did a little sight seeing, a home DIY project, shopped, laughed a lot and even cried some! Oh, we also saw a few snowflakes. It is so
