I don't know how to do this, but I'll try...

Gwyneth is taking a hiatus from blogging. I'll fill in until Elise learns the ropes and can take over.

We just had a wonderful week with our California cousins and their parents. We're so lucky they were able to make the trek to visit us from San Francisco. We had some bitter cold days to remind them why they love California. The cousins always seemed to be able to start inventing a new pretend play game with costumes and complicated story lines. Jeff and I will miss the many deep discussions with Andy and Jenny, and I will particularly be craving more in a few days (sometimes the mind gets lonely by itself!).

Here are some pictures of our time together:

This is at our New Years Eve Party when we were having a great laugh over the "Snuggie" phenomenom.

Dramatic play including Celeste.
