Christmas re-wrap-up
With more snow on the way this afternoon/evening it got me reminiscing about our 'white' Christmas.We had a great couple of days with lots of visitors and in all the hoopla didn't stop to take many pictures. Grandma and Grandpa stopped by on Christmas Eve for a toast. Then we had Uncle Jake come to stay the night and await Santa. Christmas day started off quietly with Sam finding his LEGO Power Miner set and new "spiffy" scissors from Santa. Grandpa Bunk visits with Ford
Visitors arrived throughout the day - Dandy and Granddaddy Frank, cousin Livi and Aunt Patty, Grandpa Bunk and Jane, one of Mame's co-workers and a couple of folks walking their dogs in the neighborhood. We had to take in strangers because we were the unintentional recipients of loads of delicious food from Dandy when the wedding reception she had been planning to host was postponed due to the snow. Thanks to everyone for such a fun day. Sam out with his new rock hammer and hat

Drifting back in time
All the way to Thanksgiving. One of our friends and a guest that day was Lenka Hattaway who is working on starting a photography business. She put together these composites - like something out of a magazine. If only it had really been that peaceful and serene....

The January dining tour
The weekend was a culinary blitz with Friday night roast chicken and risotto here at world headquarters. Saturday morning started off with brunch and ended up with the highlight of the weekend - the adults treating themselves to dinner at The Admiral in West Asheville (we'll gladly return with any other visitors). Sunday's outing was to Asheville Pizza & Brewing for a slice and The Fantastic Mr. Fox, capped off with an afternoon treat (pictured here) at the French Broad Chocolate Lounge.

Co-explorers
Like Lewis and Clark or, or, Kirk and Spock... Boldly going where no babies have gone before. Mobility is the word of the year for Ford and Jack. Both have mastered the 'commando' crawl and have shown spurts of crawling on all fours. They can also make the transition to sitting-up and back down again. These days you have to watch where you're stepping in our house.
