This week I am in mourning. No, not because they killed off a main character in Downton Abbey last night (but seriously! How could they?!!) I am mourning the loss of that marvelous morning nap:
 |
| "Not sleepy!" |
 |
| "Keep trying mom, still not sleepy!" |
Our son has suddenly decided that he no longer needs a morning nap. Instead of promptly going to sleep like he used to, he will lay in his crib playing and talking to himself for a good hour without ever closing his eyes. While this is a good thing because it means he is maturing, it also means I can pretty much say adios to my morning nap from here on out. . .sad, sad days!
To add to that gloomy prospect, the weather has been horrid. I love living in Utah but I despise Utah winters. Living in the Salt Lake Valley definitely has it's downsides. As the smog builds and temperatures drop, I feel the need to hold my breath every time I walk outside. I hate it. I hate the cold. I hate the dirty air. I hate having to wait for the next storm to come and clear out the air. I hate not being able to see the sun and blue sky. I hate not even being able to see the mountains at times.
This week we had a couple days of fog, which is even worse, but at least it made for some interesting pictures.
Matt and I wanted to escape the cruddy air and go snowshoeing this weekend. Unfortunately I got sick and wasn't up to it, but we still managed to go on a little hike in the hills above Bountiful. We didn't get up above the fog, but it was still nice to get out.
Thankfully today the air is clean and the sun is shinning! Halleluiah! Here's to hoping that it will stick around for a little bit!
Happy photographing!
