Christmas 2009

We didn’t go too far for the Holidays which was probably a wise decision. We left with a “not so full” car but came back loaded like donkeys. Guess who got the most gifts?

1st snow. Verdict: Negative!

I was under the firm impression that all kids like snow. Well, not our little Gemini. I don’t know how many times I said yesterday how eager I was to go play in the snow with Olivia. I must have jinxed it. She simply didn’t like the white stuff. Even holding a snowball in front of her made her cry. We ended up putting her in her red wagon and went for a walk down the snowy road. Maybe next year she’ll like it better.

Meet Pierre

I know it’s a little late for Halloween updates. I just haven’t found the time to take care of my own website lately. It would be nice if our dear planet could spin a little slower so we could gain a couple of hours a day.

Nevertheless, better late than never, here are a couple of pictures of Pierre, our new exchange student from France. You know, they say stereotypes are not always true, but with the French they are and Pierre is here to prove it. Pierre showed up at the party with a striped t-shirt, a beret, a nicely groomed mustache and a basket filled with bread and cheese. At least he was a gentleman and didn’t spit on anyone.
