Today is one of those days that I dream about all year. We woke up this morning to a beautiful 3-inch blanket of snow, which is kind of rare this early in December. But what really makes this such a unique day is that we’re all five home doing nothing and enjoying it. The kids have been out in the field behind our house playing in the snow. We’re really lucky to have lots of friends, neighbors, and sidewalks on the front of our house, and a large field with rabbits, deer, trees, weeds and a big pond behind our house. It gives the kids the best of both worlds when it comes to playing. Although UK lost today in Chapel Hill, it was a great game to watch with a fire roaring in the living room. Like most other modern-day parents we spend a lot of time running to the ball fields, and gymnastic and karate lessons for our three kids. So it’s days like today that are very rare, but very well deserved and appreciated.
