Snowy Monday

We've had a wonderful weekend (a four day one for me!). We've spent most of our time cuddled on the couch in front of a roaring fire watching the Olympics. We've caught a lot of skiing since Aiden has realized that he goes skiing just like the people on the television and loves to point it out by saying "Ski! Me! Ski! Yep!".

The temperatures outside have hovered in the twenties with icy winds and a small storm expected tomorrow, but our house has been so warm and cozy that just staying inside with each other has felt like a wonderful vacation. Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and Mardi Gras are all small holidays if not totally unnoticed in our house, but the way they're all clustered around these few days I have off, combined with the fact that T.V. coverage of war and crime has been replaced with sportsmanship, have added just a little extra happiness to our lives this week.
