Changes

Aloha.

You'll notice the layout is new. The pink is gone. So is the "welcome picture." I'm still tinkering with the layout, but I needed to upgrade the template to jive with the latest Internet Explorer upgrade. A few of you told me the problems you were having, and I experienced it as well. So for now this is the new layout. I'll be getting to pictures soon I hope. I have to lock myself in my new "home office" and go through pictures. Meanwhile, enjoy the outdoors! It's spring :)

And here's a blast from the past... about 60 pounds ago!



Cheers.

The Great White Adventure

No, not how pasty and pale I am. I'm talking about winter.

Aloha.

It's warmed up now at home, and we're out in the yard. But I'm behind when it comes to blogging. Maybe I can catch up soon and get you up to speed. Ava turned 3 years old yesterday. I'll have to get those pictures up soon.

But first: sledding!

We last left our happy family in the middle of another winter. They were making the best of it when Ava tumbled in the tundra. This is where they were headed...

More monkey bars and slides!


Up... up... got to... make it.... to the top....


Tunnel!


From behind...


... to the front!


Hey!


I wonder if it's slippery?






Let's try this again...




Bah. I'll just follow directions.


That's better! (it's what we call a "snow moustache" in our neck of the woods)


Come on Mama!


I can't push the snow as far. You're 4 times my size!


Maybe I can beat Daddy.


Ha ha!


Let's have tea time... if it's not frozen already!


What do you want to talk about?


How about the effects of China's prolonged policy on ignoring human rights and what that will mean for this summer's games? Do you think people wil protest the torch relay?


Ahh, who are we kidding? That won't happen. Let's talk about the snow!


Well that's the winter. Now I'll try and prep the next batch. If you'd like more baby banter, check out our friends Rachel and Nick. Samantha is now more than 1 year old. They're having a blast.
