Our Village

Tonight we read seven books before you went to sleep. This is four more than usual and has, I think, established a new precedent that I may never be able to undo. One of the books we read is called "My Daddy and Me" and talks about all the fun things the kids in the book like to do with their dad. Your dad has been working a lot and you really miss him so I think that is why this book is now in the nightly rotation. On one page of the book, a child is sledding and building a snowman with his father. When we got to that page you looked at me with big, desperate eyes and asked, "Mommy, when is it going to snow in our village?"
