Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2002. In fact it was the first snow fall for the season and the very first snow Mattie ever saw! Mattie was 8 months old, and I wanted our family Christmas card cover to be special that year! After all, it was our baby's first Christmas. So when I saw the snow, I dressed Mattie up, put him in his exercise saucer and brought him out on our deck. This was "Santa Mattie!" I can't tell you how many photos Peter snapped that day, but out of all of them, this was the one that won out and was placed on our Christmas cards.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 17,631,293
- Number of people who died from the virus: 316,006
It was a full day it felt like by 7am. Newsflash the airport in DC and the plane were packed. Once on the plane, we were second in line for take off, when the pilot turned the plane around. We were headed back to the gate we had just left! Why? Turns out the plane needed more fuel and the cargo needed to be better balanced under the plane! Really? This was a new one for me, I never heard of this oversight before, but I am happy the pilot flagged it before we took off.
Peter and I literally turned to each other mid flight and said.... wasn't this supposed to be a smooth flight? Our pilot set the expectation for no turbulence and it would be smooth flying! Ironic, since we literally had turbulence throughout the entire flight.
It was a busy day of grocery shopping, doing chores, getting dinner, serving it, cleaning up, and the list goes on. I have come to conclusion that it is easier to cook from scratch than picking up food and having to reheat and serve it at home. I almost felt like it was double the work.
