The Bill of Farts

Acer's book is officially published! You can now order your own copy at: his website. Or, you could purchase it at this site. We are thinking that getting it on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles would be a good thing. More on that in the future. We've managed to sell a few copies - so the seal is broken. For sure this deserves the Newbery Medal.

Salix & Jon defy gravity - for .01s

Seems to look more extreme in reverse...it felt more extreme than it looks - I must be getting old.

Tilia and a new sled

We went sledding with Papa Paul over the winter break. Tilia certainly loved the new sled from Grandma Jackie and Grandpa Scot.

Evidence below:

Gopher Invite

Salix had her first gymnastics meet of the new year last weekend. Level 7 sure is tough - but cool seeing her flip like that.

The family went in support - and encouraged Salix to "Branch It".



We've posted a few videos to YouTube: Here is a sample.







As always, we're awfully proud of her.

Halloween Picture

I was involved in a bike race - in the race, but I wouldn't say "racing". Some dude took this shot of me - not sure if my leg is actually broken, but it looks a bit out of joint?

Enjoy my "Officer Dangle".

Leaves in the fall...

Michelle's favorite season is Spring - but I've always been fond of Fall - perhaps it is the new school year scent that arrives..I don't know. The kids always like the leaves that accumulate from our neighbors. I told Papa Paul at some point that I'd update with pictures, so here's a few from the fall for you.

We also went to Harriet Alexander wildflower garden this Fall - a great way to spend the afternoon.


The kids are growing up so fast!

Merry Xmas from Tilia to Aunt M. & Uncle C.

Merry Christmas - She enjoyed it very much.



Thanks!
