Sunday, January 1st - New Years Day
- Waking up in a nice hotel in Jacksonville on New Years morning without a hangover! (this is after our New Years Eve celebration - watching fireworks over the river at midnight while drinking Champagne and playing with sparklers with the girls!!) And Allan bringing me a coffee from Starbucks and then going out to Einstein Brothers Bagels for a good breakfast.
- Waking around Jacksonville River Walk and finding a toy store with Playmobil - buying surprise figures with the girls and opening and assembling them in the mall.
- A gorgeous sunset on the drive home (see the blog background photo).
Monday, January 2nd - A Holiday!
- Getting another day around the house with Allan and the girls (until 2:00 - when the girls left to go back to school).
- Making Christmas sugar cookies with Amelia in the morning. She made me a special Mom Christmas cookie (see photo below).
- Walking in the woods with Allan and Sadie in the late afternoon.
Skip a few days.....
Saturday, January 7th
- Walking in the woods with Allan and Sadie at dusk. Perfect crisp fall air - low humidity and beautiful light. We saw a huge Barred Owl. He swooped down and checked out the dog and then sat on a branch watching us - so Cool!! I wish we had our camera with us - - can you say mental picture?!
- Getting a big package in the mail from my Dad. He sent me some of Mom's things a nice trench coat, jewelry, and some of her porcelain jewlery boxes - thanks Dad!
- Oh - finding the long lost piece of the Playmobil nursery train! Yeah! (If my girls are reading this they will understand our Christmas project of assembling their old childhood toys - it was fun digging out all of the old boxes and going through their old stuff. We played Playmobil, Barbies and Bratz dolls for hours over the holidays!!)
Ok - I'm going to consider this caught up! Expect much shorter posts from now on.
Thanks for reading!
Lynn
