What a month it has been. Daylight hours have noticeably started lessening. I see it every morning while I go about my chores before the rest of my tribe awakens. There Sun only starts peeking its face around 6ish every morning. With that so do the small children. I have always wanted a life where we rise with the sun and head on indoors when the darkness falls at the end of the day. Although my internal clock knows this will never happen for me, I can see this manifesting with Danika and Garren. Obviously things are a little different for Rob and Josh as they spend their days away from the home at work and school.
February also blesssed us with a visit from Tristan. Although a short stay - everyday was a blessing for me to have him home. It took Danika all of 5 minutes to remember him and then for the whole two weeks she would not leave his side. He makes his way back to his home in Jilin City this weekend and although we chat constantly (or rather when he can get a free moment from his busy schedule) he will be so sorely missed.
This month all five of us made our way to New Hanover to apply for our passports. That in itself took up much of our day. I dont want to say too many bad things about this experience as we in actual fact had an easier time applying than most other humans who are on this same path. Danika proved to show such patience (more than most adults in the queue) and so I most certainly counted my blessings in that regard.
Although the daylight hours are slowly darkening the heat has not let up. This week we hit highs of close to 40 degrees Celsius. So although Autumn is eminent the temps are still in Summer. I am not sure how I feel about saying goodbye to Summer, my feelings are rather mixed this year. I long for more cooler hours of finishing off knitted projects and casseroles with homemade bread yet I am still very much in Summer mode were gloriously fresh summer salads and sipping on ice teas are a joy.
I hope your month was blessed and that the new month will bring you all your hearts desires.
Love as always,

are you planning to travel with the passports? just wondering. Lovely days and while you welcome darker days our days are getting lighter! We are still in the middle of winter but the light and sun feel like warmer days will be here.
