January

We will be excited to mark the end of the year's longest month tomorrow. In the meantime, our children are developing their variety show talents.

January in Maine continues to be a snowy one, with another snow day this week and lots of skiing this weekend. Meg is starting to feel that she might ski as fast as she walks, and Dave is refining his expert technique (falling into a snowbank) for controlling himself going down hills.

Ana loves singing, Ethan loves listening and we get a chuckle (and thought you would too).

Our snowmen

Our frequent viewers are apparently big fans of the video clip, so here is another shot of the kids in their matching pajamas (thanks to Jenni and Steve). We enjoyed our first real January snowstorm that brought the first snow day of the year. Both Dave and Meg have been able to use their new cross country skis and hope to become experts by the end of the winter.

Life has been busy, as you could have guessed by the lack of posts. We had a great holiday trip, although Ethan managed to get the stomach flu and take down 10 family members (Chicago and Boston). We are hoping to get a bit more snow to really embrace Maine in the winter and help Ana get over her snow phobia. Our camera's flash is broken, making picture taking a bit hard. We've started to really embrace the Flip video camera that we got from Pat and Emily last Christmas. Hopefully this upload works!
