My little angels

This is one of my most favorite pictures in the whole wide world. Alexandre with the angel eyes.


Those were the days, when we could wrap them up tight and they were as content as could be.


This is Alexandre in Cuba this past summer. You can already catch a glimpse of the boy he will become, the one that threw a forty-five minute tantrum today because he didn't get what he wanted.You could hardly believe it from this picture if I told you that he's the same little boy that choke-holds his brother on a regular basis.

Winter wonderland

Almost two feet of snow have fallen this week and they're only 50% finished cleaning the streets in the city. C told me that it costs the city $60 million dollars for each snowstorm. That's a lot of money. And when you add on all the layers of winter clothes and winter boots and electricity and gas to run all the heaters, winter can get really expensive here.

I've been trying to get the boys used to the snow. Their day care lady says they don't want to stay outside at all. I say it's the Texan in them. I can completely understand.
