It was 60 degrees for the last several days. Now the ground is covered with at least 4 inches of snow – and it isn’t supposed to stop until late tonight. The great thing about the recent nice weather is that it doesn’t seem to be sticking on the roads, according to 9News that is. Hmmm…
Hannah was supposed to go to her Enrichment School today, but I decided to keep her home and stay in today. I think we are all enjoying the down day. Curiously enough, the forecast calls for low 50′s by Monday. ”This is March in Colorado,” is the comment repeatedly used by newscasters today.
One suitcase is packed with donations and various items. Three to go – This afternoon I am going to get down to making decisions about what size of clothing to pack for Julia. I don’t have an updated weight. They sent me her height this week, but it is suspiciously short for her age even though by her pictures she looks pretty lanky.
Ellie has been asking everyday this week if Grandma and Grandpa are coming in two days. I was happy to report to her this morning that it is now two days until they get here. About 10 minutes later, she asked if they are coming in 1 day. I guess she is excited!
Ryan has always told Hannah whenever we have left her with grandparents over the years that if she ever feels lonely for Mommy and Daddy to go climb into a lap and get some hugs. I started doling out that advice to Ellie today when she said, “what if I miss you?” That will be my consistent message over the next few days. I asked Hannah if she was worried about Mom and Dad being gone or if she had enough experience. She proudly gave a wave her hand stating, “Oh, I’ll be fine. I’ve had lots of experience.”
