And now we're having technical difficulties with our camera. Actually, the camera is ok - it's getting photos off the camera and on to the computer that is the tricky bit... Hopefully, we will figure it out soon!
So, here is a round-up of the last couple of weeks:
1. Paloma and I had a week off school/work. We had a fine time, playing with our new toys from Christmas, doodling about in the house, and catching up with one another. We persuaded Howard to take a day off as well and we all went to the Natural History Museum. We really enjoyed the dinosaurs and will definitely have to go there again. And again.
2. We spent new year's eve with George/Uncle Indian, in our cosy little home, around our cosy little fire.
3. We all went to a first birthday party for Finn and Liam - those boys have a lot of energy! It's like visiting a whirling dervish.
4. We all went to a birthday party for George - Paloma had a wonderful time wandering around and exploring the restaurant. Luckily, she is very cute and the other diners didn't seem to mind.
5. We all celebrated Aunt Cathy's birthday! Howard and I enjoyed a day on the slopes at Sipapu with Cathy while Paloma stayed home with Granddaddy. I managed to make it down without breaking any bones. Jim seemed to have a splendid time with Paloma, although he did tell us that he followed her all around the house on her adventures and he walked approximately 60 miles.
6. I helped a student start a new experiment and ended another one. Fun stuff - it was so nice to be out in the fresh air, despite having to crack ice to get our samplers in the water.
7. We packed for our trip to San Francisco! We are leaving on Saturday morning for a couple of days in the Bay City. Our number one reason for going is to get to the Australian Consulate for Paloma's Australian passport, but we are going to take the opportunity to visit some of the Wilson clan, spend some time at the Museum of Modern Art, stroll around Golden Gate Park and eat Dungeness crab (that last one is from Howard). I hope we have time to do it all.
And, I hope our camera is working again soon so that we can share some SF highlights with you soon!
Oh, and one last thing. Paloma is up and walking and exploring and opening cabinets and very curious. So we spent some time over the break baby-proofing some of the cabinets in the house. She was quite intrigued by the drill and enjoyed helping her Papa:
