Going into this winter I was scared. Scared that we would be locked inside like last winter. Scared that we would all go stir crazy. Scared that winter would last forever. But as usual, my fears were unnecessary.
Unnecessary because I have chosen to embrace winter instead of running from it in my summery daydreams. It is cold here. The last few weeks have been in the teens, mostly. But we make it outside at least for a little bit, everyday.
And let me tell you, Matilda loves it. She loves to run and jump in the snow just like her brother. She loves to scoop it in her hands. AND she loves to be pulled in the sled. Her laughter and smiles are enough to warm anyone.
