Winter is Here

Ah, vacation. I'm in my third day off of a three week vacation and boy is it sweet. My favorite part is I get to take both girls to and from school every day.

Winter is officially here now. We had our first real snow on December 5th, about 4 inches or so. It lasted several days, including plenty of good sledding in the neighbors' yard. This week is is cold. Last night it got down to about 12 degrees and it is only 16 degrees right now at 9:30 AM. It was a brisk walk to school this morning. Audrey and I didn't see anyone else walking; I guess all the other parents wimped out and drove (it's two blocks away).

We are getting the most out of the Museum of Science membership we bought last month. We have been several times and we still haven't seen the whole thing. I took both girls last Sunday and we spent six hours there. It was nice to give Carol a good long break. What did she do to relax? Bake holiday cookies!


Finally, here are a few experiments with iPhone photo manipulation applications. One lets you remove all of the color in a photo and then paint back the color in just the areas you want. The other applies distortions to the photo. I like what it does to Charlotte's already big brown eyes.
