Mother Nature really messed with my trip home at Xmas last year. I arrived at Dulles wearing a long wool coat (clueless as to the forecast ahead - it was just too big to pack) and the passport control officer looked at me and said ‘You’re well prepared for this weekend.’ Me: ‘Oh, is it going to be cold?’ Him: “Well we’re expecting about 3 feet of snow tomorrow (looking at passport), but I see you’re from Massachusetts, so you’ll be used to it.” It = snowpalooza, snowpocalypse, etc and led to lots of snow cancellations for visits and a 3-hour work out for the Pierce girls to dig out Kait's car! However, was still able to see many of you, including a lovely dinner at David and John’s (the night of the blizzard – many thanks again to Joan and Brent for get
ting me safely to Kaitlin’s!), a great Freddie Mac reunion lunch (pictured), a sleepover at Tania and Ned’s with the girls, and a final dinner in Shirlington. Then had a wonderful an
d White Christmas at mom and Peter’s with the whole family, including budding new football (aka soccer) star Destin, sporting his new Arsenal kit, courtesy of Aunt Gretchen, who will buying another kit this year
as on March 29 we welcomed Eddie to the family! Big brother Destin clearly relishing his role in the pic here.
