Once again time has slipped by without a blog post. I feel like we are super bus, but at the same time there’s not much going on. The life of a parent, I suppose. We had a GREAT visit with Barney this week. Sadly probably the last one for awhile. We took him to the science museum and the swimming pool. He missed out on story time at the library, but I think he’ll get over it soon enough. I suspect CA has some mighty fine libraries too. :) Otherwise we have just been doing our thing. It snowed, finally, and the kids are still swimming. I went to a meeting tonight about the possibility of becoming a teacher. My brain is always churning about what I want to be “when I grow up.” Or, more accurately, when my babies grow up. Sob. Anyway, here are a few pics from the camera…
Eve made a little snowman one morning. Actually it's a snowman version of me as a baby. She is very creative. She also wanted to make snowman version of my parents with me, but it started sleeting and I convinced her to delay that project.
Eve and her snow-baby-Tessa
We have lots of naked barbies around these days. The kids love playing with them but see no real use for their clothes. Eve says, "I just pretend they are in their clothes." I think the clothes are still a little too difficult for their young fingers to manage.
All bundled up!
Over the summer we had a tree crew do some work, including "cleanign up" the dead lower branches on the pines in the back yard. Now, every time there's a strong breeze we get branches falling down! At first I thought they did a lousy job, but now I think those dead branches below were supporting the higher branches, which are now unsupported and falling down.
Climbing, always climbing.
Shoveling the road on our way to check out the fire hydrant. Very helpful children.
Goodbye hugs for Uncle Barney!
Everyone wants in on the hugs! (Karma was licking Lex's face here.)

Alan actually looks smaller than Barney. Can that be true? :-)
