I apologize for the lack of posting around here, but hopefully, that is going to change. Let us blunder away through the rest of the winter! I have my eyes set on spring, months away (May). Well, maybe April. Spring is a real tease.
Fiona turned 5 on the second and we had a fabulous party on the Sunday after that. I have party pictures to load and hopefully receive from friends at the party. Fiona invited four friends and they all came. She had a wonderful time. I made a unicorn cake, made with copious amounts of colored buttercream and edible glitter. We had the trampoline up and balloons. Doug made a nice spread of food (cut up cheese, sandwich fixins, fruit) to which I added homemade foccacia and fruit punch (how I love punch).
Oh, I had a birthday the weekend before and now I am the grand age of 34. Hooray!
Mom (aka "Sobo") is here which is wonderful and such a big help--especially since Sophia has been sick for most of her visit so far (oh well). We found Sobo some snow boots and proper gloves even though it is late in the year for such things. It is so maddening and amusing to see summer shoes for sale when the high outside is 18 F. Fiona and I are trying to learn knitting from Sobo (or rather, "re-learn" in my case).
We've decided to not re-enroll Fiona into the Montessori school for next year. That's a post for another time. Hopefully, Doug and I will get to tour the public school tomorrow. If that is dismal, I am not sure what the next step is. I have heard good things about the Kindergarten teachers, though.

Happy Birthdays!! And welcome to 34. I freaked out realizing this year I'd be...well older than that. Can't we stop this? Not to whine about getting older, but I really liked 28.
I love the picture of her in her sunglasses. Ready to take on the world like the star that she is!
Big hugs to you all!
I'm afraid we are on one slippery slope, my friend.
Happy Birthdays! At 35, I feel old, old, old....a desperation at all I've yet to accomplish.
I'm so glad to see you back at the blog! I've missed you!
