Mmm hmm, we've got a white Christmas going on..and yes, those are my Adirondack chairs in the front yard at the cottage, but the biggest little city hasn't gotten near the snowfall to date as our neighbors (and my family!) up north.
If you don't live in the pacific northwest, or know anyone that does (or haven't managed to see the news lately) you might not realize that the folks up there are still in the midst of a record breaking snowstorm (dubbed the "Arctic Blast" according to PTown's news stations...) which has literally frozen the communities in those parts.
The airport has been closed and then, when open, lots of delays, roads are closed or barely manageable, and there have been power outages to thousands of residents. This has been all the talk in my family for the past week or so, due to the fact that we have all been anticipating Mr. Peanut's arrival....and the talk focused most specifically on exactly how the parents-to-be were going to actually get to the hospital when the time arrived.
Well, in the end, they did make it, and after many, many hours, our beautiful, perfect, little Christmas baby boy arrived. And, on Christmas eve, no less. He and his mama and daddy are doing just fine.
Aah, God is so good.
Merry Christmas everyone!
