Merry Christmas to All

Our kids were completely spoiled this year -- and not because they got too many presents from their grandparents, which they did. No, they were treated to a White Christmas thanks to last weekend's big snow. I grew up here, and I think the best we did was one Christmas with a light dusting of snow in 20 years.

For all of the family off celebrating elsewhere this year, here's a rather long video of our Christmas. We missed you all.

(Also, two new albums of pics linked here, with two samples below).

Chloe wearing one of Sophia's hairbands. You know, to keep the hair out of her face.

Going for a twirl in a new dress

Nonna & Opa visited for a week over Thanksgiving. As always, they came bearing gifts, this time including a lovely dress for Sophia. Here, Sophia dons the dress and show us a twirl.

Also, linked here are some more pics catching up from the fall.

A few teasers from the new picasa album:

Sophia making banana bread for her preschool class.

And Chloe's hair finally starting to come in.

Indian Summer

It's still summer, no? Catching up on some pics from August and September here. Keep coming back for more updates over the next week. A preview:

Chloe's first birthday.

Sophia likes to climb into Chloe's crib in the morning. And, I guess, start changing her.

Inspired

Inspired by Amit's visit a few weeks back -- in particular, inspired by the great pics he took (what's new?) -- we just bought ourselves a real camera. Still figuring out how to use it, but here are a couple pics from the first few minutes playing around with it.

It was great seeing Amit, Gillian and especially Sonali. She's so cute!

Chloe turned 15 months old yesterday.

Sophia is almost 3 and a half.

They are much better kids than their parents are bloggers.
