Brrrrrrr!

Is it cold inside or are we shivering?!
We've had our first taste of winter here. This is the temperature
INSIDE of our flat! We wear scarves, gloves, jackets, whatever
we can around the house and to sleep at night. When waking up
this morning and even still now at 10:45 a.m., we can see our breath in here.
Hey, at least it's warmed up to 52 degrees!


This is the view from our window. If you can, look to see
a set of mountains that are dark in the front, then behind it is another
bigger set covered with snow! We see these mountains on clear days,
but not with snow until now.


The reason it is so cold inside is because there is no central A/C
or heating. Tim just bought this space heater. It can produce heat from gas
or electric - it's our make believe fireplace.


Well, now Kadence is sick. Kya at least understood when we
could only give her a spoonful of water at a time (because she
would throw it right up), but she would ask for it constantly.
Kadence constantly is fussing now for more water all of the time,
but she also throws it up a lot. Poor baby can't understand.


Yesterday our windows were all fogging up.
They did because it was still kinda warm inside. They don't anymore!


Tim's parents sent us a goody package. Woohoo!!! Like Christmas
before Christmas. A couple things we got were some
graham crackers and marshmallows (we don't have them here in
Albania) to make s'mores. We just melt the marshmallows
over our gas stove. Mmmmm.

Packages ARE exactly like Christmas! :)

It is freezing here as well (see pics on my blog). But we have a wood-burning stove in our kitchen. They don't have those in Alb???

Hope Kadence gets through with it quickly... the liddle one.
Do all the guys in Albania wear pink blankies over their heads in the winter?? ;) Stay warm! much love

Dominick, can I just say how much I look forward to your comments? Sometimes Tim says, "I want to put this to see what Dominick will say." : )
