What a winter we are having this year. It is phenomenally beautiful out tonight, yet another winter storm blanketing our yard in a sheet of white, one smooth layer from the top of our porch to the rise of the backyard, the patio buried under 8 inches of powder. Trees, street, sky-- all white. It is magical. And I can enjoy it tonight because we are snuggled in under blankets in our warm, clean house, full of provisions and no place to go at all in the next 24 hours. Winter is really just fine with me-- as long as I don't have to drive in it.
Little bits of news: Right now my two children are both asleep in Jack's room, taking advantage of his newly transformed bed-- we flipped it into bunk position on Thursday and so far they've spent two nights together in there, Ivy on the bottom bunk. There's something wonderful about seeing them in there together, all cozy together...
I've had a wonderfully social weekend, with a "girl's night" at a friend's house last night (complete with massage and facial!) and then a dinner with some old-new friends tonight. We've known this family since Jack was in pre-K with their daughter and finally managed to spend some quality time with them. Only took two years... They are grand and it felt wonderful to share stories and jokes over wine as our kids played Wii and ran around as ninjas in the background.
Oh, we also went sledding this morning.

Life is snowy-wonderful this weekend. Stay warm and soak in all the sparkle of it.
