December 19, we had the first snow of winter decend in these here parts followed by an artic freeze that continues today with temps hovering at arounf 9F (-13C) before windchill is factored in what is a windy day! BRRRRR!!
The snow has left a thin white covering to remind us that the first day of winter officially starts tomorrow.
The last week has seen much merriment in the Friend family household with the tree in the house and decorated, the last of the lights adorning the outside of the property and I have lost count the number of holiday festivities that have been attended, not least Tableaux, the Childrens Holiday Concert, full of good traditional Christmas carols the society sing, complete with the annual pastoral skit loosely based around "its a wonderful life (in Bryn Athyn) and the MSAA holiday party to name but a couple.
This is a wonderful time of the year, while both Taney & I long for the news of our adoption referral in early 2005, this will be our last christmas without our daughter . Yesterday I noted the silence in the house before heading out only to remind myself that the silence will be anything but soon.
