Starting to get dark in Alaska

Lately it has been getting dark at 4:30pm. It makes me want to sleep the days away!! Liliana fell asleep at 5:00pm yesterday and slept until morning time for school. The kids had progress reports and are both doing good. Wynter has an IEP meeting this week as well. She also had another ENT appointment and they said there may be slight hearing loss but just have her teachers know she needs to sit up by them. We go back in 6 months for a regular check up. As for other appointments, I am waiting for a referral for the endocrinologist because I have to go to one somewhere in town. We have just been hanging out at home (and playing outback in the snow!) The kids did go to Give Parents A Break on Saturday. It was for 4 hours and they loved it and I got some shopping in. We sent Barry a regular letter in the mail so far and then last week we sent him a Thanksgiving box that included some drawings from the kids. I am working on his Christmas package now (he doesn't read my blog so he won't know what is in it). I bought a small Christmas tree, mini candy canes, decorations, stocking filled with candy. The kids are going to make snowflakes for him to hang around his room. And today my friend and I baked cookies to send to our husbands. *her husband has about 7 months left in Korea*
