let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

what a spectacular day! it snowed and snowed and snowed well into the afternoon. the city is white. but polightly white. not at all overrun with snow. however, they say that monday we are to have +15 celcius. let's not think about that. all this snow has got me in christmas spirit. and kaspars and i have just had a spectacular day. i think our relationship is beginning to develop and we have both learned, finally, how to give each other some space. he's been so fun, today! just look at this picture. we took it at 8am while playing on his favourite matt. later we went for dim sum with our regular dim-summers tania and paul. what good little bites of unidentifiable food, yummy! the subway was a bit of a bore until kaspar discovered the bright adds near the ceiling. what a blessing. (and i don't usually feel that way about advertising.) then we had dinner plans with crystal and andi and lidia. more spectacular food! and by 7 pm kaspar looked a bit like a drunk baby - so very tired. he's been asleep since we got home. (knock, knock, knock... he better stay that way for the next three hours.) bless this fine little boy of mine!

today an important milestone has been reached, a one week blog-a-versary. i'd toast myself with a glass of champaigne, but i have not got a bottle handy. i hope someone out there does it on my behalf. i'm thrilled that this blog project has not failed!

and now, please forgive me, if some of you cannot read the rest... but sometimes i just have to write in latvian.

vienas nedelas pierakstitas domu kripatas. sniegs. tuvojas decembris. ziemsvetki. lai cik ilgi es ari nebutu nodzivojusi sini pasaules mala, sis laiks mani vedina uz domam par majam. bet, vai es vispar varu vairs tas saukt par majam? varbut vienkarsi sentimentalitate. latvija. riga. majas, kuras es uzaugu. bet sava zina tas vel arvien ir manas majas. tapat ka toronto drosi vien bus vienmer manas majas. si sadalita pasaule.

sorit kaspars mani pamodinaja isi pec sesiem. es atveru acis, bet vel arvien savas atminas kavejos sapni, ko pat pilniba neatceros. es sedeju uz jumta, savas majas, riga ... un debesis bija baltas, tik baltas, sniega un saules pielietas. ari seit snieg. peleciga, sniegaina, samtaina diena. pagajusi nedela kops esam divata majas ar kasparu. miers mijas ar nogurumu, nogurums ar garlaicibu, garlaiciba ar nepadaritiem darbiem un darbiniem. rit svetdiena. pauze mana nedelas skrejiena. vismaz pedeja laika, manas mammas iespaidota ari es censos svetdienas nedomat par darbu. ja nesanak nestradat, tad vismaz censos nedomat. ha!
