Where Has the Time Gone?

The holidays are over now and we are getting back into a little more settled routine. I don't have very many pictures, because my camera isn't much fun to work with, and we are not very good at remembering to pull it out and use it in the first place. I will hopefully be able to post soon about some of the changes we have going on around here, like the boys' new room, the play room, and the nursery, but for now I will just leave you all with a few pictures to give you an idea of what we have done in the past month and a half since I last posted.

In no particular chronological order:

We drank a lot of tea, and made this really cool (we think) tea cabinet out of an old drawer pulled from a store counter in the family's building in town. The family is renovating and all of us "kids" went to town late one night to demolish the counter so we could save the wood for whatever it might come in handy for.

We had a few parties and danced in our kitchen. Here are Jaired and Chava dancing Gay Gordon's, fondly known to our dance group as "The Scottish."

We organized a Christmas Ball for our December dance.

Jaired and I stayed up late one night cutting out, baking, and icing over eighty cookies. We gave some away, ate some, and froze some. It was a lot of fun, but I think next time we should do it during the day.

Jaired started a group on Facebook dedicated to Gorilla rights, initiated by his acquaintance with Nathaniel's dear friend, Gorilla. Check it out here.

He also tried on a new look for the holidays.

We hung out.

We had fun, and we hope you did, too.

Goodbye 2009, hello 2010!
