Observers

Max and Annie watching Zoe, and a sign of unknown significance.

Gymnastics Again

Here is Zoe at observation day again. The gymnastics schedule got all messed up along with the school schedule due to snow, so the intervals don't make any sense.

Orange Julia and kittens

Orange Julia, with her kittens. And Annie with one kitten. Annie is sweet and gentle, but still manages to make Orange Julia nervous.

Observation Day at Gymnastics

Last weekend was parent's observation day at gymnastics. Zoe won the longest tripod holding contest, again. And she had a good time, and we were glad to see her doing her gymnastics stuff.

A few photos from D.C.

I don't know that Zoe is showing all the reverence the Gettysburg Address deserves.

Reflecting Pool

The Reflecting Poolwas frozen over, allowing some small bit of lunacy.

Lincoln Memorial

Some pics of the Lincoln Memorial.

Girls and Snow

The girls climbing a snow hill in Washington. We have no shortage of snow at home, but they liked this hill better.

Pollie

Annie giving Pollie, her stuffed polar bear, a ride; and giving him a feather hat.

Washington Monument

Some pics of the Washington Monument.

Snack

We stopped for some snack time while in Washington.

Harry's

If you want to get your dinner here, you better go by Thursday.

Movies, too

I got a youtube account, and put up a video of Zoe goofing around. You can find it at www (dot) youtube (dot) com/helloorangekitty
We might put up another one eventually. Videos take a while.

Danger Mouse

So it turns out Orange Julius is not a good name for this cat. So, it is now Orange Julia, or OJ. She is pregnant. If you know someone that wants a kitten let me know, and I will work out a delivery plan inside the contiguous United States. By the way, the mouse escaped and has a tale for the grandchildren.

Tracks mystery solved

So, it looks like the mysterious tracks mentioned earlier were not from a chupacabra, but a squirrel. These tracks are pretty similar, and they are from the roof. The roof is a place where we have seen squirrels in the past.

Snow Fort Man

Snow Fort Man is suffering from heat stroke. It has been getting in to the mid-30s, and is in the 40s today.

Rock Stars

Just like in the song by Nickelback, Zoe and Annie want to be rock stars.

Zoe Dancing

This is an old one of Zoe dancing.

William

This is an old picture of William I found on the old camera.

Annie

Annie at a tea party, and in a parade.

Door to Nowhere

We got bored while we were trapped by the snow. So, we took the walls down in the piano / fireplace room. Inside the wall we found this door. If it was in use, it would lead to the couch. We do plan to put walls back up.

William

A couple pics of William.

Tracks

So, one set looks like bunny tracks, the other is a mystery. Jen says raccoon. Tim says chupacabra.

The 11th

This is as big as the snow got. One of these is the tops of the fence around the garden, which is about 30 inches hight. And there is one of the pool. You can figure out the rest.
