Hi Friends,
I hope this blog finds you well and warm. I've been watching the news as the "Cold Arctic Blast" hit the Lower 48. I heard NYC even got a little snow! I hope all of my Illinois friends are doing ok after the storms that blew through over the weekend.
Things around here are great, even though the days are very short and cold. Jose is working a ton, and Amaury is filling his days with giggles, rolling over and learning to crawl! He loves to visit his friends at the hospital and the library.
Jose decided to walk home from the hospital the other day. This is what he encountered!
(P.S. I take a taxi in this weather - or stay home!)
Tomorrow, the sun will set for what is called the Polar Night, and we won't see the sun until late January. As I understand, there will be twilight but also a time of total darkness. Many have asked how I will deal with the darkness. Well - Light! I turn on all the lights in the house (which are full spectrum, so much brighter than the average lamplight). I also make sure I spend time with friends, visit Jose for lunch a few days a week, work out and diffuse essential oils. Amaury and I like to have dance parties too. Barrow friends - you are welcome to join us :) There is always something going on in Barrow, and we make sure we are a part of it!
