Busy day

This morning, while Lucie had her play rehearsal, Milo went for a walk with Daddy.


Later he had to make a phone call.


Lucie learned how to skate today.




This place -- Wheels -- reminds me of the roller rink from my childhood. Lucie liked it best when the lights were off.


The birthday girl, Ziah (in the pink hat), is a friend of Lucie's from Morehead.


The girl on the right twisted her ankle and was in terrible pain.


Here's a movie of Lucie skating.

Hair apparent

L came with me to get my hair cut last week and was very curious about all the goings on. She asked my hairdresser, T, lots of questions. One transaction went like this:

L: Why do those women have bags on their heads?
T: They're getting their hair colored.
L: What do you mean?
T: You know, dyed a different color.
L: Like you?
T (a bit taken aback): Yes, like me. How can you tell that my hair is colored?
L: Because it's orange.
T (to me): You can trust a kid to really tell it like it is, can't you?

Movie of the day

The Luma Luma Dance

In case you don't get the cultural reference...

Snow

School was delayed, and the children were super happy.

Carpet

We installed FLOR carpet tiles upstairs. The whole family pitched in.




Here's the play room in the afternoon...




...and the bedroom in the morning.

Christmas

Hey -- here are some images from Christmas (finally).



Looks like Santa was here.
