with Henry its hockey with a little soul

Henry is coming to the end of the regular season and heading into the playoffs. We are all groupies (Dave more than the girls and I). It's fun to watch. Let us know if you want to come!
He continues to work hard at his trombone as well. This picture is on the occasion of his 6th grade concert! They sounded pretty good!

showing up for work

Henry, Ellie and Meg's construction for January - extracted from Dave's zombie-of-the-month calendar. A little tab and glue work for the kids before heading outside to sled and spend some time with Dave on the occasion of MLK day (no post office means no ebay). The only frustration was that his appendages (by design) kept falling off.
He kind of looks like I feel these days. Trying to keep everything together when your parts feel incompatible - with about as much energy.

Happy New Year 2011!
