The Party

Yesterday marked one month since DJ left. We marked it on the calendar weeks ago as a day to look forward to. The first milestone reached. The first hurdle cleared. When we marked the date on the calendar, we wrote, " one month party" and planned on having a little party to celebrate one month behind us.

Last night, after having our once-a-week Skype session with DJ that lasted only a few minutes because of the poor connection, we ordered Domino's pizza (Noah's favorite), watched Where the Wild Things Are and then baked cookies and decorated them. Earlier in the day, Noah's class made homemade ice cream at school and then got to eat it. Zoe's class celebrated her teacher's birthday with cupcakes. Both kids claimed it the best day ever. Sweets at school, pizza and cookies at home and a movie.

I took some pictures of us on the couch watching the movie with the webcam on my laptop. I love this one because look how crazy Noah looks!

I like to call this one, "We just heard there was more snow in the forecast."

One month down. Three to go.
