Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Don't forget to smell the flowers.

Snowman

A warm day following the big snow. With better snow for building today, Yukari and the boys built a huge snowman (American style, with 3 snowballs) on the front lawn.

Igloo

We had our first big snow of the year this week, as many did along the eastern half of the US. The boys couldn't wait to go outside and dig an igloo in the snow bank.

Wilmington, NC

I had a presentation at the PACE service-learning conference at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington this week. Yukari and the boys joined me, and we spent a couple of days visiting Mom and Dad in Virginia after the conference finished. On our way out of Wilmington, we stopped to tour the USS North Carolina Battleship.

The Greenway

Since we moved out of town, we haven't visited the park lately with Luke and Ian. After our first good snow of the year, we spend a warmer Saturday afternoon at the Greenway park in Boone.
