We woke up today to magic falling from the sky…

Why is snow like that?  Because it’s unexpected?  Because it makes everything so quiet?  Because it changes the world, but is gentle at the same time?

The boys are home from school now on Winter Break, so we were able to wake up together and enjoy this moment without rushing off anywhere.  A big bear and a Christmas tree are nice accompaniments to a snow day.

This is the view from my window at work.

This is the view of Jake and Eli making snowballs on the balcony.  It is dark now by 4 in the afternoon.

Only four more days until Christmas.  The magic is in the air.

We are getting ready, one step at a time.
