Snow hike in the Fells

There's no better way to enjoy the snow than a hike in the Fells - a huge forest of conservation land just north of Boston. Of course Kai loved it, and was growling and kicking his feet out the entire hike. Nadia also seemed to enjoy it, in her own more low key style.

Let it snow.... let it snow, let it snow

Well, we got 12 inches and Catalina finally had her New England snow storm. We went up on the roof deck, made a snowman, had a snowball fight, and made snow angels.

The Year of the Rat

Emperor Kai and Empress Nadia were in fine spirits bringing in the new year. Out with the pig, in with the rat! We made Jiaozi dumplings and enjoyed the company of friends and eunuchs in our Palatial little loft. Diana's cousin Catalina came back with Diana from Bogotá, and will be staying with us until July. It takes a village.

We Eat Blueberries!

Nothing like some blue blue blueberries to smear across your face... The twins have been digging in with gusto. Just a sampling: bananas, papayas, apples, pears, avocados, rice cereal, sweet potato, melon, butternut squash, yoghurt, and of course Cheerios.

peas, not so much.
