Before

Given Max's general disappointment with his haircut I feel obliged to defend my craftsmanship. Fortunately I took this before picture. As you can see they were complete mop heads before modification.

What news this week? Dominic had to give his book report to his class today. If this was anything like the rehersal, with Dom trying to be enigmatic and intruiging, it must have been a hoot. Maddie has new shoes which she is exceptionally happy about and one of Max's front teeth is sticking out at 45 degrees waiting to fall out.

While it hasn't snowed much this year it is bitterly cold. We do try and get out despite this. Here are some pics of us in sub zero temperatures last weekend playing at Coronation Park. You don't see too many locals out at this time of year.










And the big kid. For UK friends, did you ever think you would see Kate in a white coat?



The other big kid was taking the pics. Even though it is cold you do see lots of people running and I am no exception. Yesterday, in a mild -3, 9.5 km took 47 minutes.
