Stahlke Adoption

A Turn of Phrase

Winter arrived this morning with a white dusting and the joyful shrieks of children. Kentucky, our very short-haired dachsund, mostly dives under the covers of our bed to catch as much warmth as possible. I miss watching Dakota, a husky to his core, cavort in the first snowfall.

On rare occasion, I still hear hints of Ukrainian in the children's speech, mostly now in the words they choose. The most recent example:

"The wind today is heavy!"
