Oh Winter…

You with your snow followed by balmy sunshine followed by snow, finished off with humidifiers, nasal suctioning, and yes, more ear infections.

I always have a vision that my winter will be filled with free time curled up by the fireplace that we don’t have, reading 19th century British literature, or at least not watching British melodramas that kill off key characters in swift and horrific ways.

All of that is but a fantasy, but…

we did go to the Outer Banks last weekend and do some kite flying on Jockey’s Ridge!

 

Okay. Sophia and Travis flew kites. Olivia and I stood at the bottom of the dunes with Leila in the baby car seat. I will not give you the details of that scene. Focus instead on what a glorious time that Travis and Sophia had flying kites…

Because really, the fantasy for every season actually involves blue skies and sand dunes, does it not?
