"The Sun" by EmmaI know every day is a gift, but today felt especially so. Why? Because it's January 12 and it was 78 degrees. That's rare, even for California. The girls and I played outside for HOURS soaking up the sunshine and warm breeze, listening to K-Love Christian radio (my new favorite).
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I don't exactly get inspired by gray days. My high school teacher Mr.Furrer tallied the number of gray days we had in a row one winter here in Petaluma and it added up to about 40 days. Depressing much? The sun is healing to the soul. I NEED it!
But I've discovered that we've been having just a few more minutes of daylight every day for the past few days. Call me quirky, but every little bit helps! In a week, the sun should set 10 minutes later than it did tonight and in a month it should set 55 minutes later than tonight. So we're looking at 6:30pm around Valentine's Day-- a solid improvement. (I prefer more like 8:00pm, but of course that won't happen until Summer.)
In short, I could NEVER live in Forks, WA. Even if I was Bella and Edward was my main man. (Yes Cori and Carli-- I really mean that!)
P.S. One more thing: I also despise setting the clocks back. Ok, I think I'm done now.

You crack me up Cristi. I feel the same way. I love the sunshine! Being born and raised 8 years in Arizona then moving to Washington was an awful experience! I am glad you are living in California where you do get lots more sunshine! Emma is such a great artist too! I can't believe how much she has grown!
Well I guess I won't tell you what the weather is like in San Diego right now, I wouldn't want to make you cry.
oh and P.S. If you knew Edward Cullen like we do you would live in Antarctica if he was there!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY. READ THE BOOKS!!!!! Forks WA. will sound like HAWAII
We've been missing the sun a lot this past week...we are having an 'inversion' where the fog sets in and doesnt lift. I need some sun! Maybe I'll go tanning? Just kidding! How fun to go roller skating! Did Emma like it?
