...but melting...
we start them early up here....
I still remember scraping the ice off of mom's car most mornings (now striking me as suspicious that MOM was never the first to be ready)

And so it begins
It's 2 degrees and snowing outside.
And sticking...
Ben is bouncing around the house chanting "snow, snow, snow, snow!"
On the to do list: order him some boots NOW.

Talented Boys
For those of you who missed the final product of Darren's giant trunk-making project.
Also a showcase of Ben's photographic abilities (he is currently specializing in objects in the house, random pictures of the floor, and "blurry ben" upsidedown self photography)

Country mice in the 'Big' City
So, we drove in to Prince George for a couple of nights this week.
A few observations....
1. It is beautiful up here this time of year. It was sunny and clear for the drive both ways. The colours were gorgeous - cottonwoods and aspen were bright yellow all along the route.
2. After 6 months of Smithers, I am not used to traffic noise. Or malls. Plus our chariot-built-for-two stroller does not fit on the bus.
3. I loved Fort George Park as a kid, and it held up well to adult scrutiny! The fire truck is still there (or there is another one now), plus there's a great little museum that we spent a good couple of hours at.
4. Babies like swings!
5. Ben was re-introduced to Treehouse TV in our hotel room. His brain dissolved away after about 5 minutes. It was truely amazing to see. He literally could not take his eyes off of the TV set. (and it's not like he's completely deprived of tv at home!)

poop poop poop
icky little baby

ickick ICK ick
such a stinky baby
I love my baby girl
ick ick ick
poop poop poop
(repeat (and repeat) and fade out as he is sent to his room until he's had enough)

In related news, Laurel started solids last week, thereby closing the chapter of our lives that involved (relatively) sweet, breastfed-baby poop.
