Cold-February 4, 2015

It is brutally cold and there's no other word for it. Even Derrick, the hardiest soul in our family remarked tonight that today was really bad. Indeed.

We kept the girls today and yesterday both. That borders on being too much but we thought it was wise this week to babysit two days in a row. We started yesterday with this:

I remarked that this was a really beautiful sunrise yesterday.
The sad part is that we were up that early!!!
 
 
Yesterday for lunch I had a helper.
Zoey loves to put pasta in the boiler. Hannah used to like to
do that, too, but not as much as Zoey does.
 
As a grandmother there is nothing better than having some help in the kitchen. It slows me down but in the long run that will not matter at all.
 
We understand we now have four days off. We won't babysit until next Tuesday. We will use the free time wisely and catch up on things that need to be done here. The girls have reached the age where a full day with them is really exhausting. We are determined to hang in there as long as we can. There are real treasures.
