gabriella & jd (and alex! and vincent!)

The weather has been wacky - snow, freezing rain, and 70 degrees in less than a week.  JD returned from all his travels so there was some eating and cocktails.  Vincent has lots and lots of words (Grannie, up, Thomas, Cookie Monster, mine, more please, broke, fix it, all gone, clock, etc) and now runs instead of walks. pictures - outside, weighing Vincent pictures - outside, sticks, soccer, first snow pictures - Chevy's, hurricane simulator, 2nd snow, sushi, crib, La Fourchette pictures - hats pictures - desk, outside, snow

pictures Time for some pictures from Alex's camera.  Vincent got a hold of the camera so the last few were taken by him - mostly of the floor and his shoes.

We are having a mild winter so far and have been able to enjoy some time outside.  Vincent likes to run around the parked cars then hurl himself on the grass.  Last Sunday we went to the College Park Aviation Museum .  Alex and Vincent enjoyed the climb aboard airplane, watching the small planes land and takeoff at the airport, and the wooden airplanes outside. pictures more airplanes catching up from December in the basement

Two weeks of holiday and vacation with lots of visiting and eating and drinking of course! pictures Some trains at Colvin Run with David and Mitchell, a visit with Toots and Poppie at Shana's, and some holiday lights. pictures A lovely Christmas with Grannie's lights and tree and a meal of lamb and champagne and a visit with Kathleen and the Cahoon's.  A trip into DC for some tapas at Jaleo. pictures Shopping in the police grocery cart - fun fun.  New Year's Day open house at Rose and Beth's. reading trains lights champagne lamb and brussel sprouts
