Half of the third grade is already in braces, but last night, JOSEPH LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!

It’s Chris’ birthday! Please wish our birthday boy a happy 6 years old. (Because 51 candles wouldn’t fit on the cake. Next year, bigger cake.) This one is an outtake. He’s just scratching his nose, but…  

My tropical escape story is in the Sunday Seattle Times! Here’s a link to the copy with lots more pictures.     .  

Drove up to Snoqualmie Pass to play at Hyak Sno Park — yes, that’s what Seattle children have to do to play in the snow. We had a BLAST!! Lots of room the parking lot all day (Friday) and the groomed sledding hill was unbelievably fun. Most importantly: nice, clean, heated restrooms. .   .  …

I feel like I have waaay more photos of Joseph than Paul (second kid syndrome) so we took some Valentine’s Day pictures.

Dinner tonight for my ABC children: red bean rice balls in honor of yuan shiao jie and pizza in honor of National Pizza Day (?!).      

Happy new year!   . . . . . . Shot with a self-timer and tripod. . .        

Snow in Seattle is a BIG deal. Half an inch in our yard, nothing on the streets or sidewalks and we still managed to go “sledding” (mostly on the grass though?). Joseph was devastated when he came home from school and it’d all melted away. But another .00001 inches fell overnight, so another 2-hour delay, YAY!…
