Winter Solstice

Today is the shortest day of the year, even though on Christmas break, it somewhat feels like the the longest. The sun came up at 10:53 a.m. and went down at 2:41 pm. But it was warmish...only -22. But on short days like this we stay inside and find something to do. Caleb loves to make music on his computer.

Nick likes to build things. He is quite imaginative.
Jake loves to play games and loves to help his sister. They are playing Guess Who? I think that he lets her win just enough so that she will keep playing with him.

They look like are behaving themselves. I remember being snowed in for 3 weeks with -tempatures in KY with six. It helps if they like each other and get along. I know it doesn't compare to Alaska, but to a Florida gal it was rough.

I thought of you all today and it being winter solstice.

We must not have liked each other or got along very well for my mom during those 3 weeks in KY.

My goodness that is a short/long day. INSANE! Hope you're not frozen right now.

Nick's bike is awesome. At least now the days are getting longer again!
