Rain, rain go away, come again another day...

Rowan, Saniya and me at the lake behind our house.

Our turtle ice cream cake we made over christmas. Yum, yum!

Well it is the end of January and we had a little bit of snow at the beginning of the month and that is it. I am beginning to feel like it will not happen this year. Weird and definite reinforcement for the theory on global warming. The temperatures are so mild, I do agree it is probably warmer here than in the Northwest.

We are excited for Saniya's birthday. We are doing something a little different this year. We will have a family party, but instead of a kid's party we are going to take a big ship to Riga, Latvia for a few days. The SSTallinn will whisk us away for some adventure in this Baltic capital to the east. People say it is similar to Tallinn, Estonia, which I visited with Jessica when she was here. The other cool present we got were tickets to the children's series at the philharmonic. Both kids love Little Einsteins and that is all about the structure of music and it's instruments. So, it is great that there is a series with the philharmonic for kids to be entertained in a classical music setting.

I guess that is it for now.
