Jan. 30 - Another Snow Day

Again staying warm inside, Connor got out his train set and designed a track. He built this completely by himself and was very proud of it.

Last Sat. evening, after a few days of being cooped up inside the house, Connor hosted our neighbors Riley and Isabella for a playdate. You can see Connor writing on the board "the way Miss Sara [his teacher] does." His class was learning the letter "p" last week. This is in his bedroom.

Jan. 10, 2010 - Snow Days

These were our first "snow days" in January. (We were off school Jan. 7th and 8th.) We stayed warm inside. Connor enjoyed playing with his train set. The set began as a gift from the Rose family for his 2nd birthday and was supplemented by a Christmas gift from Maria. Thanks! It has been a favorite.

Santa spread

Santa apparently stopped by and left a few more goodies, as seen above. In the candy stocking interestingly are a number of chile-flavored candies - not the sort we are familiar with in the U.S. It's strange to get spicy when you're expecting sweet.
