She turns twelve on Tuesday, so today we had dinner and cake to celebrate her and the New Year. Here’s Joe, cuddling Kirsten’s dog and teasing Maria. Okay, somehow we have to clear a spot on this table for the birthday cake. Aww, there’s our girl. Oh, and this man wants to scoop ice cream!
That’s today. Wow. Here’s Sesame Street as seen from inside a big water heater box I brought inside for the kids to play with. They did–put in blankets, decorated, hung pictures. We cut windows. It was good. See that smile? Great box. Then it was warm enough to eat lunch on the patio. In November,
