It is snowing hard outside right now. I am still at work and am dreading the drive home. I just pray by the time am on the road there won’t be that many people out there. I just have to warn the KS-MO drivers this woman here will be going 35 miles/hour, so kindly back off

I love the site of snow. I love it most when am just sitting at home sipping some warm tea, and not having to drive in it. 

Oh boy, it is going to be a white christmas after all. Snow is going to cover all the ground and Julian is going to remind me we still owe him a trip outside and get his snowman build. He loves it when it snow. He loves it soo much that we make a scene when we have to get him out of the snow. He screams soo loud, and reasoning with him just doesn’t cut it.  Julian’s Day out in the snow.

Whatever you are, i do hope you will get to enjoy this Christmas.  If you  don’t have to get on the roads, then don’t, just stay home and do something fun. Did i mention i am still at work, dreading the drive home? yikes! Well, maybe the roads will be  salted and since it is still falling there is traction on the roads, so it won’t be too bad.

I wish you all a safe, and a very merry Christmas!

Diary, diary, diary…

It is Christmas eve about 10 till 2 in the morning. I just finished baking some soft oatmeal raisin –chocolate chip cookies. They are completely egg free and dairy free and delicious. My husband stayed up and waited so he could have them while still warm. Julian is sleeping and has no idea there are cookies So it will be a great surprise treat later.

Julian has been doing great as well. He is getting a little smarter as the days go by. I need to start looking for a pre-school for him before he turns 4. He still looves his computer, books, and now Dora and Diego. He adores his little brother. He tells people Eli is his baby brother and showers him with butterfly kisses daily. When he wakes up in the morning the first person he looks for is his baby brother and of course wakes him up too. I got to admit, my heart melts with joy everytime i see them together. They are little friends, perfect for each other. Eli on the other hand can’t hide his joy either seeing his Julian around. He follows him around, and fights for his toys, and wants to touch anything his big brother has hands on.

Right now, Eli is sleeping, he had woken up and his dad rocked him back to sleep. He is crawling already and it has been awesome just watching him move. It was just the other day when i bundled him up and held him while he tried to open those little brown eyes… now he is 6 months going to 7, and yes time does pass fast!

I kept up with my workouts, i got to confess i am a sweet fanatic, and i don’t see me stopping soon, lol.  So, that being said I  cook our meals daily and i incorporate lots of proteins, and i am at least getting in 64 oz of water daily.

So far no snow yet. This Christmas we have been invited to a friends house for dinner. I bought our Holiday turkey and it is sitting in the fridge just in case the storms comes on hard and we don’t end up going to the party.

I have not put the presents under the tree yet as Julian would probably unwrap all of them, so they will go under the tree tomorrow night after he goes to sleep. I know holiday shopping can be stressfull, but just as any parent would silently confess – It is always rewarding watching your children’s faces light up with joy when they open their gifts. It makes all of it worth it- I guess

I am sitting here with bittersweet memories of Christmas in Africa. I miss the feeling of being home with my parents, brothers and sister. I wonder what everyone is upto now. I know my sister is in law school and she has no enough time off to be home for Christmas, so chances are mom and dad will be celebrating alone this year. I don’t want my boys grown up yet. I will be the mother waiting and hoping that my children would be coming home , too.  Children, mmmmh, one way or another they will get you emotional!

Merry Christmas to you!
