I can’t remember the last time we had such severe winds. It was a nightmare driving today. The only time it was bearable was when we were headed east on I-40 and then it had me running 100 m.p.h. with no effort on the part of the engine.

We picked up Erin from Dilia today. She’s dressed in all purple and she’s got a cut thumb from peeling potatoes with Belle. Once we got home, I had to make a customized bandage for her thumb, something that is pretty common here. Her fingers are so tiny that we don’t have Erin sized bandaids here. It cut into her nail bed.

Nina and Erin are decorating the Christmas tree as I type this. That little tree is gonna get overloaded with ornaments.
