It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Winter finally arrived yesterday. And it’s about time too because Joseph has been waiting to use his new red snow shovel that he got for Christmas. This is good, because now the shovel is in the garage instead of in his bedroom. We’ve been using it for almost a month now to shovel toy bricks onto the “freight train.” Global warming global shwarming.

In other news, Tony got home from his week-long conference in Germany. The kids are now in their second week of a sleeping strike. They don’t sleep. Ever. Our dryer broke. And Renée had her first solid foods. Heigh Ho!
