Winter Finally Arrives


  We had a very very mild November and December, but finally winter has arrived.  It has been cold and today it is snowy.  And windy.

  I was supposed to take 6 of us to the dentist for cleanings today, but I cancelled.  The receptionist was clearly annoyed and I felt a little badly about it, BUT it has just continued to snow since I cancelled, and now the wind is kicking up big time.  Facebook friends are saying the roads are terrible, and Kevin said the same thing, so this is the right call.

  That isn't to say this is convenient.  It takes months to get cleaning appointments at the dentist. The world apparently needs more dental hygienists.

 I took Rose and Isaac for yearly well child checkups yesterday.  Rose has grown well in the last few months, which is a relief. She is still quite tiny -- 21+ lbs, but she is on her growth curve.

  Isaac SHOT up this year.  He is 5 ft. 5 inches tall!  That puts him close in height to his eldest sister.  He also gained 14 lbs, which is good. He is still very thin.

  We keep being sick. I don't feel well today with a bad backache and a mild headache.  What's with that?  We get sick a lot in winter so this isn't a huge surprise, but it is tiresome.
