Well, Katharina came home last night, and she is doing much better than she was at the hospital. She has all her tubes out, and is only taking 1 antibiotic. She is still very weak, but she is home for Christmas.
A few days ago some volunteers at the hospital invited Mom to come to a store of donated presents. She said that they might not want us to, because we have 8 kids (one more in March). But they said they were sure, and so Mom went and they filled up boxes of presents for her, all donations to the hospital. So Mom told us, "This is not going to be a normal Christmas. These are very nice gifts."We have a half-white Christmas, because it snowed a few days ago but melted partially. Here's a pretty pic of the falling snow:<a href="http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img1250xz7sk4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/4672/img1250xz7sk4.th.jpg" border="0" /></a>I just emptied my stocking, and I got slippers, lots of dark chocolate, some Stafford winter relaxing-type socks, a manicure set (because I have trouble remembering to clip my fingernails), and a $10 gift card. That's all for now!
wooooooow, snow.. I wish it was snowing here..
Merry Christmas!Bah! We had +8 Celsius on the 24th night. And no snow ofc!
No snow here either. [:(]
Hasn't snowed here since 2004… and that was by chance, before that, it didn't snow in over 100 years
*but in 2004 we had a white christmas :D*
Well, we almost never have white Christmases here, becuase southern Idaho is desert.
If it's green, it's irrigated. And don't bother looking for sand dunes, as they are actually only a few places in the world that have any decent dunes. Most deserts, including mine, have gravel. (We also have plenty of sage brush.)
