Ann and Larry meet the munchkin

Are these two related?

Walks on the land before the snow hit.

The biggest box of chocolates ever...

The center of attention.

Rooted in the land

The land I grew up exploring...

The new land on the lake....

New Old Friends

Vicky has known me since I was Lucy's size... :)

Kim and Walsh get their squeezes in.

Sara and Kevin get a glimpse of their future. :) T-4 months. Thanks for the moose!

Long time family friend and my first grade teacher. Lucy gets some snuggles from Bonnie. Maureen also got some snuggles in. I'm so glad.

Sledding with Mimi K

Lucy next to the "Lucy tree".

There was no snow when we got to NH...and then it was soooo cold and windy. We only got some sledding time in just as we were leaving for Boston.

Piano lessons

Kids have to be 4 to start Suzuki...but if you're really serious about musical training, you start you kid out at 6 months. We're working on chromatic scales and christmas carols. Intensive training because we don't have a piano at home. This has to last her until we get back to NH.

First New England Christmas

We went east for a nice week of visiting with friends and family. It was so nice to see folks. Wish we could have seen more people...but the week gets short and with the snow...anyway, it was a great week.

Lucy and Mimi snuggle by the tree. My parents house is so warm with the wood stove heat - Lucy got to enjoy more naked time then she does in our ancient chilly house. She was digging it. Bare toes are much easier to put in your mouth than ones covered in socks.

Merry Christmas!

Lu is almost able to support herself sitting up. The chair is helping here. She looks so big!
