Reader Feedback

I got some feedback that Kaori should be in some pictures with Hiroo too. The first couple days she didn't want too hold him too much but now she is okay. Here's a photo.

By the way, the feedback wasn't in comment form though which is what I'd prefer.

Introducing Hiroo!

Say hello to Hiroo (pronounced hero). Hiroo is the area of Tokyo where we lived but we are using a more English pronunciation. He is a nine week old soft coated wheaton terrier. We picked him up Saturday, Nov. 15. He's a lot of fun and well-behaved. The kids love him. I guess it's likely he'll be the subject of future blog entries.

The overnight snowfall got the kids all excited about building a snowman. It is their first significant snowfall in three years afterall. So we went out and built a snowman and gave him a dog too. He didn't tip over, contrary to how it looks. But our attempts to fix him might have hurt him. He's still standing, for now anyway.

This is Kaori's recent artwork. The owl isn't copied from anything, the teacher just kind of showed them how to draw it.










Cole has recently taken up rock climbing. Here he is at our local health club, Lifetime Fitness. He can climb all the way to the top.
















And here are our trick or treaters.












By the way, I'm leaving the current poll up until I get more votes. Four isn't enough.
