Well Dug spent almost three days building Kali the perfect snowman. Nite one: piled snow sky high in one big pile taller than Dug. Day two: Spent the afternoon carving the whole snowman. head, body and arms to sit Kali in. Day three: dressing Mr.Snowman..... grinding discs for buttons, poker chips for eyes and mouth, ( hence the perfect poker face!!! Ha ha) spool of thread for a nose and an old planter bucket for a hat. hes about 7 feet or so tall.

Nana and Papa hope you enjoy the pics..... I know you think of snow as a really bad four letter word...but Kali really loved it. Cute eh!!

My time is ticking away.... on the 27th I have to go back to work. I need 600 hours of work to go off on MAT leave again. I do have a really good job but boy am I gonna miss my time with Kali....and Dug to. Now, really Kali will only need to go to a sitters for two days the rest of the time Dug or I are off with her. Dug and I are only gonna have two of the same days off.... which will be hard to get use to cuz we enjoy doing so much stuff together and time together. So I just have this week with Kali and my hunny..... then its back to the grind.... hopefully just long enough to get my hours.

I interviewed someone to watch Kali but my gut says shes not the one. I gotta go with my gut. I knew it was gonna be hard to leave her but to not know what someone is doing with her during the day is way harder than I ever thought it would be...having trust... complete trust in someone you don't know well or at all to give the care you want..... thats rough.
