Future reminisces

I was hunting for a photograph last night, and along the way got sidetracked in the pictures I took when we were in China. For reasons I can't easily explain, this road sign is a better summary of that year than any I could have written.


But enough of that.

Spring has sprung around these parts and that means we can mourn/celebrate the passing of winter by going skiing for the last time (for a while) tomorrow, and sifting through photographs. This winter we continued to haul our trailer up to Silver Star whenever we could...

Evidence
...and Tav did his first full laps of the mountain, and ski lessons.

Tav prefers edible medals (who doesn't)

If I was confronted by an Australian dressed as a fox, I probably wouldn't look at the camera either.
Tav also seems to be pretty interested in hockey, though in fairness he's pretty interested in everything:

Kal Lake hockey




Aiste's feet didn't grow fast enough to get on real skis this season, but if her enthusiasm for everything else that Tav does continues, I think we'll all be skiing together next winter.



"Snack" is (I think) Aiste's third word - after "toes" and "no". A concise, but surprisingly effective vocabulary.

Winter 2019 blog post

At long last I remembered that a thing I do is put pictures on the internet. So, here are some pictures.

But first, let it be known that we have embraced the future and bought a car that is powered by batteries. Imagine a car powered just by batteries... as if that was even possible. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet, but in my mind it looks like this. The only meaningful difference I can think of is that our is red, so maybe I don't need to take any pictures.

Here are some photos of things that aren't powered by batteries (unless you count bananas as batteries, in which case Aiste is certainly battery-powered):

Happy 2019 - and Tav's third birthday

Tav managed to have his birthday celebrated at least four times, in a variety of places, including an aeroplane. Lucky man...


Tav's Third Birthday

And since we've returned home we kicked off 2019 in the way we hope to continue (until the spring at least)...





Finally, just like leftover Christmas turkey - here are the last of our UK trip photos:

Wheeled Plank

We gave Tav a skateboard. He seems pretty excited by this...









More festive "unboxing" (and other things) photos:

Christmas 2018 - Part 1

We haven't even reached the merry immolation of the yuletide log yet and already the festivities have taken us to the the exotic climes of Sheffiled, Holbury, Fritham, and Fuerteventura. I have high hopes that I'll be able to write some words (better than these) about all of this, but as a sort of documentary safety net - here are some pictures. Some of these pictures (mostly just the good ones) were taken by this man.
