right now.



It's 4:02 pm.
Thursday.
Warm and sticky outside.
Just picked Carly up from the bus stop.
It was late.

Kids played chase back to our building.
Carly won.
Wesley lost.
Wesley cried.
The usual.

The sun hid beneath a blanket of clouds.
"Ugly day" I thought to myself.
Then, a warm breeze swept across my face, twirling my hair.
I changed my mind.
Warm and sticky is just fine.

Just fine by me.

Hello Sticky! I was just telling Dad that I hate being in a time difference that it is difficult to talk as much as we did in Chile, but I love reading your blog and seeing my beautiful grandchildren! Hope all is well. Kiss my beautiful grandchildren for me! I Love you, Mom

just fine by me, too. especially as i look out at the cloudy, freezing cold day, with layers of snow and ice still on the ground from weeks and weeks ago.

Can I come be sticky with you?
I was just thinking about taking a bath since I'm cold. Our stake center is just like our Nottingham Country one and I was watching the snow fall out of the window in the relief society door.
It was fun to be in the same building after so long and brought back memories of early morning seminary.

Um, I don't feel even a little bit sorry for your "warm and sticky" day :) The other day it rained ice. Not hail, not snow, not rain, just pieces of ice. Lovely. Hope you are enjoying life over there, the kiddos look adorable as always and your pictures are fantastic.
