Park pics

Here are some fun shots from a cold but sunny visit to Carkeek Park today.
The bubble man was at the park today - Lindsey got to chase bubbles.

Chris was carrying Elise while Lindsey and I went down to the beach. A couple of retired teachers asked if he had kids and why he was carrying a stuffed bear on his chest.
It turns out there was a kid in there, wearing her fantastic bear suit.

Valentine's day

Yesterday, it was unseasonably warm and sunny, so we went to the beach. Lindsey got to throw rocks in the 'sea' and Elise got to pretend to be a purple bear.
Afterwards, we went to La Carta de Oaxaca, and actually got to eat there, since we waited in line for the 5 o'clock opening. A bride and groom stopped by for a picture, since that was where they had their first date. It was a fun moment.
We made cookies the other day, using this recipe for cookies and this one for icing. Lindsey got to paint some and I piped (is that the right word?) some. They were delicious. Happy Valentine's Day!

V is for Viking

Chris's mom recently sent his childhood hat collection, this being the coolest specimen. Lindsey took it to school this week for 'show and share,' since the letter of the week was V.
We haven't had any snow to complain about lately, so here is a snowperson shirt instead.
Boxes are the best toys. This one is a pretend train engine.

Lindsey's cookbook continues to be a big hit. We made bagel faces!
