Michal got our holiday photos uploaded, which means we're only about a month behind now. But trust me, these cuties were definitely worth the wait! Check out all the photos and videos here.

Seattle Christmas

Of course, after returning from Ohio, we had our own little Christmas here at home. Both Sarah and I have photos available.

Christmas in Cincinnati

 

This year Sarah and I spent Christmas in Cincinnati. It took a while, but the photos are finally available! 

Early Christmas!

Back on Dec 12 and 13th, Sarah and I went down to Atlanta to visit her family and have a bit of an early Christmas.You can see Michal's photos and Sarah's photos.

Penguin Power

Penguins are popular, probably because they look good on everyone.

Orange Odyssey Photo Fun

In case you missed Michal's earlier post, photos from the orange party are available for your viewing pleasure! Check them out here and here.

Costume Comparison

Inspiration: Lucilla from the Gladiator movie, in her Glory of Rome outfit.







Interpretation: Not bad for a no-sew costume. I am especially pleased with the earrings. Thanks, Michal, and Debbie for helping me get into it!

The cutest pumpkin ever

We got Tetley a Halloween costume today.

Easter Eggs

Happy Easter! We made pisanki last night. The traditional way to make them is to boil the eggs with onion shells to give them a brown color, then etch designs into the shell which reveals white. Then on Saturday before Easter you take them to the church in a basket containing the eggs, a sugar lamb, salt, meat, and bread to get all the food blessed. (There's a lot of symbolism, if you can't guess.) Then on Sunday you make a white borsch called zurek out of everything.

So that's what we did. Check out the photos.

Holiday Photos Galore

We've managed to post all of our holiday photos now. I escaped the worst of the Seattle snow, leaving on Thursday, Dec. 18th for Atlanta. Michal, too, missed the airport weather madness and arrived safely in Atlanta on Dec. 24th. We tore through two days of presents, then, thanks to snow delays with packages, came home to another week of presents arriving.

Michal also got some great shots of our shinty game in the snow from New Year's Day.

Happy 2009!

Turkey on Rainier

Michal and I made our annual November trek to Mt. Rainier National Park, driving up to Paradise. They've got an awesome new visitors' center up there, and despite the shady weather forecast, we got really lucky with several sun breaks. Of course, it also snowed during our hike up to Glacier Vista, but it wouldn't be Rainier any other way.
