Bring on 2008

Greetings and Salutations from the 3 growing warriors. All in their splendor, we brought in the new year by climing the local mountain with a beautiful sunset overlooking the river. Other goals on the list are to complete all holiday tasks such as sending out postcards, making snowflakes, framing little plaster handprints, zen gardens, cookie decorating, cleaning everything, making a family henna tatto, bathing dogs(?), etc... They are going strong, dancing naked (sorry grandma), and singing loudly. Their grandma came to visit and brought an assortment of musical instruments, all of which they are quite interested in, yet to be supervised undoubtedly.

Recently we were invited to join in a merry evening of music making at a home of some other imports. As it was a first, we did not end up playing, well a couple of them did, but it was great fun for all and most of all for the kids. Nobu was enthralled by the beautiful beta fish. Athena was being served by a man she did not know, but was quite pleased. Attila found some new friends that were not at all beyond understanding that he was a boy with lovely hair. The evening was enchanting and we look forward to futher such ventures.

Wishing you love in the coming New Year. I plan on working on learning Spanish as I have not set it as a strong enough goal, but the young ones learn so fast. Now is the time. What is it you want for this coming year?

Much love
