Beatrice loves to splash "like a dolphin like uncle dan!" in the bathtub, so it was no surprise that after her bath she wanted me to draw dolphins for her. she's getting really good at filling in outlines!

Here you can see our neighbors blocking us in, our garbage can frozen shut, and an ice-coated weed. This is what happens when it snows in Seattle.

After the snow, freezing rain laid a sparkly, crunchy crust on the snow. It was very lovely. It looked like Fake Christmas.

Beatrice loves drawing with crayons! She also loves the book "the monster at the end of this book, starring grover" but she does not like us to ever open it. Instead, she asks us to draw fanciful monsters "at the end of this book" for her, which she colors happily.

Today it snowed! We took beatrice out in the snow when she was very young but she probably does not remember it. When we went out this afternoon, she was excited to go outside but afraid to step on the snow (maybe disturbing its perfection bothered her). I gave her a little clump of snow to taste and her face lit up... "it's a treat!" she said. "it's a SNOW treat!" i spent the next five minutes trying to keep her from consuming dirt and leaves with her snow treats. Love that kid.

Today i received this wonderful little plant! It grows in AIR. You just leave it lying around and mist it a little. isn't he cute? I think we have similar taste in music too.

Today is our fourth anniversary! We celebrated with fondue. It has been a wonderful four years--kelly is sort of amazing and i can't wait to see what the future holds for us!

Tonight my brother patrick came over and we watched this psychological thriller. I cannot recommend it, but it wasn't bad!

We went to seabrook recently with some friends and one of them splashed in an indoor pool "like a dolphin". Inspired, beatrice now "swims" in the tub like a dolphin every time i give her a bath.
