Cali Christmas Forecast

That's right folks. 70 degrees forcasted for Christmas morning here. We are glad that we got to enjoy our favorite Fall/Winter things over our last trip to Utah. We went skiing, played in the Fall leaves and really soaked up all the cold weather. The L.A. temperatures have dropped into the 50's in the mornings. It feels pretty cold to us actually, but we realize that we've been spoiled for the 6 months that we've been here.



Meanwhile, the temperatures in London are hovering in the 30's at night. And they had snow showers last night. We may end up with a white Christmas after all.

We're Here!

At last, I've joined the modern world. I wanted to get this up and going before our big trip. We'll be spending the Christmas holiday in London with my family. But that's not the only news happening around here.

We have been in a whir of busyness. In an act of preparation completely unlike me, 99% of our Christmas shopping was done before December even rolled around. So we've been able to focus a lot of our time thinking of and planning for people outside of our family. It has made the season so special for us. There have also been parties and dinners with more to follow. We are loving all of it. We have made such wonderful friends here, and count our blessings everyday.

Gracie is quite the little lady these days. Lately, she can be found near anything that produces music, singing and dancing. She has figured out the buttons on the TV and will turn it on and wait for her cue. Her other favorite pass times include 'reading' her books, building with and then knocking down her blocks, and exploring. Its hard to believe that she is 14 months old. C'est trop vit!
