Week

These last few days have been a whirlwind. 

From an unplanned last minute Florida trip to a beautiful Siesta Key sunset

To lot of baby time

And some tears (the dress from my childhood on Anna-Kate)

And more baby time

To my amazing family who keep on keeping on, despite months of obstacles thrown their way.

To homemade art prizes to come home to from the bigs (Iditarod)

(A frog coming out of an Easter egg and giving kisses to me)

VERY tired baby

To the wood cookstove fired up with homemade hashbrowns, with hats, coats and mittens spread galore and our advent calendar nearly all open

 To our numerous critters I missed while away (thank you to my husband who took care of my brood)

 And our snow covered Home Sweet Home. It's been quite a week.  Although I'm not even close to being prepared, cards and gifts have not gone out as I had planned, I'm still eager for our white Christmas. As toasty as the Florida temps are, I'm quite happy to wearing wool in Maine again and home preparing for Christmas.
