I’ve been away from my blog for a bit. Now I have lots of stuff and not so much time. But here are a couple of photos of Dunedin, Griffin and friend G taking some risks and loving it. Note Dunedin’s not so sure expression at the beginning of this ride. But by the bottom, pure joy.
Her love of the snow and sledding has been one of our unexpected pleasures of the season. Last year was such a miserable mix of clinging, slipping, whining, unsure footing… And that was just me. Dunedin had a more difficult time. With both her and Griffin (who was just crawling), outdoor adventures were things to be avoided at all costs. But this year all is different. The right warm gear and enough self-assuredness has made all the difference. She has even been on skis a few times!

taking risks and loving it
cutest thing you could stuff in a snowsuit
Meet Aidan. Quite possibly the cutest thing you could stuff into a snowsuit. He is super adorable. I needn’t say more.
Gotta love outdoor baby shots. I am putting together some tips for photographing kids in the snow that I will post in the next couple days.
Homemade train table saga-Part 2
So we are a little closer to finishing the table. Bricks have been painted on and the table top and lake are complete. We are still trying to decide what to do with the lake-trapdoor. I was thinking of drilling some holes and making a Loch Ness Monster handle out of rope. Other ideas include a rubber ducky handle or whale tail just screwed or glued in. The other side of the tunnel still needs to be painted but the fact that it is now completely taken over with the trains means that it is likely going to be a project done on a whim. Thanks John and Lindsey for some of the brainstorming ideas! As you can see, Griffin could not be more pleased. He spent over an hour at it yesterday.
