Tis the season again to be longing for the spring thaw and that very special day, April 15th! We attended DJ's work holiday party last night and had a blast dancing with friends and didn't end up getting home until almost 1am. Irene and Stanley came down to babysit and it sounds like the kids had a great time making dinner and cookies with Irene and playing a lot of wii . They are very generously coming back next weekend so that we can go out and celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Boy did those years go by fast! DJ is busy working long hours to finish up year end financials and will be starting up with tax returns next week. The kids are also busy with extracurricular activities and it seems to be increasing hard each year to stay on top of everything even though I try to limit the number of things that they get involved in. Zoe is competing in two competitions now with school. The first one is a foreign language poem that she will be reading in Polish. The first round of the competition starts in about 2 wks and the final reading will be in April. She also won a spot in the first stages of a national spelling B and is studying to try and make it to the next round. I am starting to wonder if perhaps she is not my child because I was/am the most horrible speller.
These first two pics are from last week. Gavin's godmother bought him this adorable outfit for halloween but he ended up being a shark. I was going to use it for Christmas pictures but decided on a different family picture. It is size 18M-2T and is getting small on him so I put it on him and snapped a couple of photos the other day when the weather was agreeable.
Some pictures from ice fishing. Gavin and I went out with my friend in the morning and caught a few bass/pickerel, took a break to get Marina from preschool, have lunch and warm up a bit and then headed back out for a couple of hours but we only caught one bass in the afternoon.
Here are just a few "wayback" pictures that I scanned for Zoe.
