California Dreamin'

A wonderful trip to San Francisco. Pictures can do a much better job than I can illustrating how much fun we all had. To H and P the trip was about 365 days too short.

Valentine Central

What a sweet day we've had. Snowed in and making valentines for HOURS. Each one hand-made and lovingly signed. Here are a few examples.

White Out

We're supposedly headed for over a foot of snow. Schools were already closed in expectation last night. Sadly the Chinese New Year celebration at Hugo's school has had to be postponed. We are headed west, or so we hope, tomorrow to celebrate in San Francisco's balmy 50 degrees.

Daddy came to class to lead a double happiness sign workshop- Hugo's kindergarten class delivered a sign to every school classroom as decoration for the New Year



Dumplings and New Year cake all around



Portia has started skating lessons and is loving them. Second lesson and they're skating backwards and weaving through obstacle courses. Next up triple lutz.










Winter days and nights made sunnier with friends

There's no place like CT

There's no place like CT. If you say it a sufficient number of times in a row when you wake up to 19 degrees for the 10th day in a row, you really CAN start to believe. It actually becomes pretty simple when you remind yourself of days to come. Here a little warm weather cheer. From local grounds.




Just steer clear of Vancouver footage.
