The last couple of weeks have been a blur. Oliver celebrated his last day of school with a Peace Festival. I was brought to tears watching Oliver's class singing "This little light of mine," and then brought to hysterics watching Oliver sing and dance to a song the whole school did with their Spanish teacher.
Following the Peace Festival out family entered into a surreal little world - Davis and I both home, no obligations, yet too many things to do...a number of miscommunications including somehow getting to the science museum and realizing neither of us had brought shoes for Henni. A trip to the gift shop and some tape (they only had adult sized slippers) and Henni was off, enamoured with her new shoes.
I've yet to upload the pictures from Christmas that are on my camera, but here are a few from the day...

| Christmas is also Charlie's birthday! |
We were planning to stick around our house after Christmas, but it poured, and poured, and poured...we looked out at the lake that was our back yard and then looked at the messages being sent by those further north and packed up the car. We made it up to Maine last night in time for some late night sledding.
Then we started the day today with skiing. Oliver had a great time on the snow, but Henni...that child loved skiing. She skied longer than Oliver - although ever time she saw a snowboarder she got really mad and tried to ditch her skis - she really wants to snowboard.
After skiing we spent the rest of the afternoon cross-country skiing and sledding. The kids loved being able to be out in the snow.
