The combined score of the boy's three indoor soccer matches today.

We are happy that the outdoor leagues start next week!

Between Dance and Dance

We had a lot of engagements at dance today, with about 2.5 hours in between, which gave us just enough time to run to the Dallas Museum of Art to visit the special exhibit of Jackson Pollock's art and to have some time in the Center for Connections to make some art. We took Keira's friend Kaili with us, too.

There is not a mean bone in that child's body

She is passionate about everything she does and always gives 100 percent

She has a bad habit of saying "Sorry" for things that she shouldn't be sorry about (I'm actually complaining about my kid being too polite??)

At night she always says: "Good night, Mommy. You are the best Mommy in the world! Good night Daddy, you are the best Daddy in the world!"

One benefit of our lack of white stuff are sunny January afternoons in the backyard with the dog.

Winter Wonderland

Morning frost on the ground and roofs might be about as white as we get this winter..

AM Office

Here is a panoramic shot of my office in the early AM when I get in.

The next two guys just walked in at 10:30. 

The last of them will get in between 11:30 and 1:00.

That used to be more like my schedule before I had kids :)

Make Over

Keira went to her friend Kaili's birthday party. She got a make over:




That is quite the hair!





Her friend Kaili is I the middle.

New Year, New Dentist

We switched the big kids to our family dentist. After some initial anxiety by the boys ( Lennon a lot more than Lukas), the verdict was " best dentist visit ever." It helps when you get to assist:

New Year's Eve Day

I took the crew plus one to the Fort Worth zoo to visit the gorilla baby that was born on December 6.



This is Gracie with the yet un-named gorilla baby. Dad is Elmo. This is the first successful gorilla birth at the Fort Worth zoo.


The bonobo babies were very playful. One of the moms is on loan from the Stuttgart zoo, which has a very successful bonobo program.


Orang it and have the saddest yet beautiful eyes.
