Decemebr 21st was the Winter Solstice and being here in Alaska it actually MEANS something! THe days will now slowly start getting longer and longer. Sunrise today was 10:58 and sunset is at 4:34pm. That is a total of 5 hours and 36 minutes of daylight. And thankfully it hasn't affected me too much (but I had better ask Aki about that first?!?!)
We had VERY cold temps last week of around -20F with wind chill around -35F. Needless to say, we didn't go outside much. Just from the house to the car and back. Today it's +6F and it feels WARM!! We were outside with Maya for about 30 minutes playing in the snow!
We will have a white Christmas! It's Maya's first, obviously and my and Aki's first since 1999-even before we got married!
My parents are arriving any minute... it will be wonderful having them here for the holidays!
Meilla oli viime viikolla erittain kylmat ilmat! Oli -30c eli me ei menty pihalle hirveesti! Rekkuakin paleli! Ei sekaan halunnut kauan pihalla olla!
Tanaan on vaan -10c ja se tuntuu jo lampimalta. Mayan kanssa olimme n 30 minutti pihalla tanaan!
Meilla oli paivanvaloa 5h 36 minuttia eilen ja onneksi piavan vaan tasta pitenee.. Ei se pimeys minua hirveesti edes vaikuttanut. Varmaan kun kaikki on viela niin uutta.
Ja meilla tulee olemaan valkoinen joulu! Mayan ensimmainen ja minun ja Akin eka vuodesta 1999. Mina en edes tieda milloin mun vanhemmilla on ollut viimeinen valkoinen joulu...oisko se ollut silloin kun mina olin 9kk vanha ja olin ensimmaista kertaa suomessa vuonna 1976?...pitaa heilta kysya. Pian he ovat taalla! Innoissaan odotellan!
