Here are a couple more photos of our trip to Canada in February. I'm clearly not working in any kind of chronological order. There was so much snow! Claire didn't have that many opportunities to go out and play in the snow this winter since I didn't have the strength for all of the suiting up it requires. She had a great time with Malcolm and Grandad and rode the sled down the little hill in their backyard. Hopefully by next winter she'll be a little lower maintenance for outdoor activities.

Jeff's Big Whoop

This year Jeff's big whoop actually was a big whoop. Last month he turned forty and officially became an adult. We had a fun party with super food made by me (why be modest?)

Ice Fishing

I realize I'm back-tracking, but as I see pictures I like I'll put them up. In February I took the kids up to my parents' house in Barrie Ontario. While we were there I went to my brother's ice-fishing hut with Malcolm, my dad and Michael (said brother). I wasn't so sure about walking a kilometre out onto the ice; I told Michael I'd walk behind him and if he went through, he was on his own. The ice, however, was super thick and we survived. It was a freezing day but the ice hut was surprisingly cozy! I don't know if I could spend large quantities of time in it, but it was definitely a new experience.

Current Hobbies

Jeff posted a photo of my new bathroom taps on the family blog and entitled it "My Lady's Got Plumber's Crack." No matter how many times I asked him to change it, he no did do. For the record, I don't have plumber's crack. I do, however like to do small plumbing jobs, partly from the job satisfaction, and partly because my frugal heart loves to save money. So I can spend it on more important things, of course.

Technical Difficulties

Okay, I'm still learning to blog. I got my lego pictures up, and then couldn't get my text in! I know, it's not rocket science, but I don't have the patience to let Jeff teach me (I'm the Anakin to his Obi-Wan).
Malcolm loves to lego, and Claire is following in his ways. She's actually doing a little less eating and a little more playing these days, so she's really making progress!

Lego Time

Carter's Hairdos

Okay, one last selection for today - a couple of cool Carter hairdos.
