We've been so spoiled with the temperate climate of the Oregon coast. We have yet to find a climate we enjoy more.
Here, the air is crispy dry, so I live in a world of chapped lips and static (if you're not aware, I HATE static about as much as most people hate being vomited on by dogs). I HAVE to apply lotion AND chapstick on the kids before they go to bed or else their eczema flares up and their lips are bloody in the morning. It really is a shock to our systems to be in this climate. The strangest thing is getting used to our chips and cookies going stale rather than soggy when the bags are left open.
You may be wondering what makes all the lotion, humidifier, chapstick and snowclothes nightmare worth while. Easy. Watching the kids catch snowflakes on their tongues!

The Dry air has infected our house too. Braxton won't stop licking his lips. They look twice the size they normally are. I drowned them in Aquaphor every night. Best stuff ever. Wish we could all play in the snow together! Love you
I hope you know that I totally read your blog by now - this is Lauren your old roomate - although the details are getting fuzzy! It is time to change the title - it is now 2010 - crazy!! Well my first comment is I am glad everyone is healthy and happy - but why the heck are you in Idaho. Maybe you love potatoes!! May 2010 be full of only good things!!
HA! I laughed out loud at the dog vomit reference!! You're funny!
I have to say, I don't envy you. Hope your skin gets used to it.
Cute kiddie pictures though.
