Friday Snow Day

We got a little snow yesterday. About 20 cm (8") with it still coming down and expected to end around noon today. I don't mind the snow so much as the cold. While our temps aren't supposed to be too bad, the windchill is going to bring them almost to -30C. Chilly!! The weather is playing havoc on the roads as well. Kiershyn had her first drive on snow covered highways yesterday. She made it through though and I'm sure learned a lot. Dad's driving her today, so that will give her a little respite. In Ferguson, Missouri, there are riots and looting going on. Michael Brown , an African American,  was shot by a white officer, Darren Wilson, in August of this year. A few days ago, a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson for Brown's death. This has not sat well with a lot of people so instead of doing something constructive, they choose to loot and burn and destroy one another's property. Wow! That's a great way of showing your respect for the dead. O

Today's Happenings

Well the night ended late and this morning came early. Peanut came for a sleep over last night. She went to bed about 11 and woke at 4 for a quick bottle. Now she's back sleeping with Opa and I'm still awake. LOL Today's the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall . It was an incredible thing. Watching it on tv, we felt such joy for the people of Germany - especially those in East Germany. Ariya is just such a joy to have around. She is getting VERY busy and moving around everywhere. She's walking along furniture and I'm sure it won't be long before she's walkingd. Peanut will be 9 months on the 17th - getting to be such a big girl! Here's her latest pic from this morning. And here's a picture with Opa last night. Being a granny is so cool. We get to spoil her and love her up and send her home! It really is fantastic! Have a great day! Toodles
