Leaving the Snow Behind

We're jetting south tomorrow. Jealousy-inducing pictures to follow.

Attack of the 50 ft Girl

In the family room.

Inauguration Day

Red Scarf

At Grandma and Grandpa's house in Ottawa.

David Bowie Eyes

Even though he came to us with a perfectly good moniker, there was a movement afoot to rename him Bowie. In the end we decided to stick with the familiar.

Easel and Dollhouse

In the family room.

Hideaway

In my basement office.

North America

We printed this map to follow Poppa and Gran as they drove to Mexico, where they'll now settle in for the winter.

Cold Snap

It builds character, right?

Rosy

She gets the rosiest cheeks when she comes in from the cold, just like her mother.

My Parents Never Get Rid of Anything

ADF and my old Cabbage Patch Kid. Yes, my old Cabbage Patch Kid. Seems my parental instincts kicked in early.

Long-Term Houseguest

Katie (left) will be our guest until the April showers fall. This pleases
ADF (right) very much.

Another First

Boxing Day at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Ottawa: ADF shows off her first representational drawing (LARGE head, small eyes and mouth, arms and legs) on the chalkboard of her new easel.

[Happy New Year!]

All Fall Down

CC, Poppa and ADF with sled, Christmas Day.
