Where to start and what to write?!

 Woke up to the first snow of the season.  I love seeing the snow.  Seeing it falling.  It's so quiet and peaceful.  I always say that my Norwegian background is why I love snow.  But my Canadian genetics must play a part too.

I remember after two years living in Norway my mother in law said "I bet you are sick of snow now".  To which I said "no".  She hated snow.  She was always cold which might have something to do with it.

         Darcy and Jody and grand-baby Galileo have been visiting this week.  We thought we would never have any grandchildren and yet, here we are!

He is indeed the prettiest baby (it's alright to say that about a boy isn't it?)

It's amazing how much energy their little bodies have.  Run run run run....he runs everywhere it seems.

Jody is a good mom and knows what she is doing.   It's crazy to see my own erstwhile  little baby boy being a father to his own baby boy.  I love how comfortable Darcy is with Galileo.  He was born to be a dad!

Darcy used to help out in the church nursery and always loved the babies.  It seems to come naturally to him.

Of course, Nick and Darcy had a very sweet, special relationship when Darcy was small.    Of all of our babies, Darcy was the most attached to Nick from a very early age.  They all love him of course, but as babies they favored me- except for Darcy.

And now Darcy's the father!
