Alec et la banquise



Alec est arrivé à l'Isle d'Orléans avec son papa après un voyage plutôt long mais sans problèmes. Alec sort jouer dans la neige tous les jours - même deux fois aujourd'hui: en raquette avec grand-papa, et sur la banquise avec papa!

Happy Holidays

Hanukkah came early this year, just a few days after Thanksgiving. But we celebrated - lighting candles every night, reading Hanukkah stories, and eating latkes a few times. And of course, seeing everyone at the family Hanukkah party!
Alec's tiger menorah, gift from Aunt Ceevah and Uncle Irwin - finally all the candles are lit!
And then a week later, the annual holiday dinner with friends, hosted by Eva's parents. The food, as usual, was fabulous, as was the company. And the kids loved their presents - dress up from Adair was a big hit, with three ballerinas and a mighty superhero zooming around the house.

Chickens in San Francisco

feeding the girls
Aunt Rai Rai and Bernie have 4 chickens on their "urban homestead". The girls just started laying eggs a few weeks ago, and on Sunday, we went over for brunch (scrambled eggs, of course!) and to see how they were doing. Alec had fun feeding the chickens and chasing them around the back yard.
