7 Hours. . .

But who's counting? Actually, we all are. It will be nice to have daddy home again. Unfortunately, we just experienced an ice storm which will more than likely delay his flight until who knows how late into tomorrow. Melt . . . Melt . . .Melt . . .

After a cold start to the morning we were able to take in some pretty snowfall. I thought it was funny that the girls were so mesmerized by the flakes. They just zoned in and looked completely lethargic sitting in their highchairs. Of course, that wasn't the case once I let them out. There was no shortage of running, screaming and fussing today. I guess that comes with the territory. Whenever I am housebound, we are all more than likely cranky!!

Here is a little shot of the girls watching the snow. Not great videography but I decided to post it. Maybe the girls can help us to remember to slow down and watch the snow. It is, after all, a beautiful sight if you are aren't too focused on airport delays.




On a more pragmatic note, Adeline goes for a hearing test tomorrow. We are hopeful that this will close a long chapter of concerns regarding her hearing. Both girls had fluid in their ears which prevented them from passing their hearing screens but Adeline was noticeably worse than Lila. After tubes last fall, we have seen remarkable improvement in Adeline's response to sound. That being said, she remained borderline for hearing loss the last time she was screened. There is no doubt that she can hear. I just want to walk away from her appointment knowing that her hearing issues have resolved.
