We are the mundane
Just wanted to post a little retrospective of past NJ Falls’ Xmas cards. I’ve got a new one coming, and really think y’all will like it, so I wanted to create a little “buzz” for the debut.
I figure I’ll post the new one Xmas Eve, unless the public outcry for a preview becomes overwhelming, in which case I might release the digital version early.
Lis and the kids went to the Florida Keys for Spring Break. Marathon, FL.
Sunday afternoon we met Natalie (via cellphone navigation) in Central Park. She, her friend Kati, Nancy, Lis, the kids and I had brunch together at The Boathouse, a restaurant located in the park on a small lake. We did a little strolling before we ate and a little after, too.
It was great to see her. The kids got a real big kick out of it… really starting to sink in now just how much family they have. I don’t think Lex knows yet that you can’t marry your cousin, but that’s OK for now.
We decided Nat will come back for the summer, live at our place, and babysit.
Winter Fun
We had just a couple of chances to go sledding and skating this winter, it just wasn’t cold or snowy enough. So we crammed in a bunch when we could.
Have you seen these new “boogie” sleds? They fly!!
We did a lot of skating on a pond nearby. First chance the kids had to skate on something other than a rink (round and round in one direction) and we all had a blast. Both kids have been taking lessons again this year, but Lex is now taking hockey classes. First it was skating techniques, now he’s on to stick skills and scrimmages.
Charlotte’s Birthday
Saturday night we went to the local Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse with Lex, Charlotte and nine other eight yr old girls. Lotsa fun.
After dinner we went home for cake & ice cream and a movie.
Even more fun!
…since there’s been a post here. And way too long since there’s been a shot of my kids here…
This was Nancy’s Xmas card this year. A shot I took of the kids on a trip to “The Tree” at Rockefellar Plaza.
This is our Xmas card this year, but we’re so far behind I thought I’d put it up here. You will get the photo eventually, so don’t bother trying to print this one.
Hope everyone had a great holiday, and if you’re not back to work yet, hope it stays great.
