Boy, time flies! I can hardly believe we're already almost to Valentine's Day.
I can promise you that the reason I haven't posted (and that Anne hasn't posted) in a couple months is that we've been SUPER busy. Just to catch you up briefly, since I posted my last note back in December, we've:
Had our first Christmas in London:
Gone ice skating at the Natural History Museum on New Year's Day. We had fun, though it was much more fun when we figured out that Chase could be entertained better by counting how many people on the rink fell down than by actually skating.
Isabelle & Chase started school the first week of January. We were lucky enough that a spot opened up for both of them at the same school. Anne takes both children to school every morning and picks them up every afternoon, which is fine when the weather's good because it means that both children can ride their bikes. But if it happens to rain (which is like almost every day), that means no bikes, and the tubes and busses are much more likley to be overcrowded.
In mid-January, we traveled to Florida for Mark & Katie's wedding and then a week-long Caribbean cruise with the whole family:
We all had a great time and I'm sure Anne will include several photos in her posting as well, so I don't want to spoil any surprises...
Hopefully, I'll put together some posts in the next few days on one or more of the following:
1) Presidential campaigning in the States
2) Details on some of the beautiful weather we've been enjoying here in London lately
3) Thoughts on President Hickley's passing
Anyway, Anne will also be posting soon, so keep an eye on her blog as well (see link at right). I'll try to post more in the coming few days...
