Ketchup

Time for some rambling catch up.

Shortly after losing her first tooth, Emily almost immediately lost her second one. Given the current credit crunch, the tooth fairy is complaining about being liquid.

We spent the afternoon at the Museum of Natural History last Sunday. Our day started with an IMAX movie. Here I thought that an IMAX movie about Dinosaurs would be big, loud and exciting. Nope. It was a historical narrative about the first paleontologists. Boring. Katie and I couldn't wait to leave. Surprisingly, Emily found it interesting and asked a lot of questions. Although they enjoyed seeing the animals of North America and Asia exhibits, most of our time was spent looking at Dinosaur fossils. It was quite entertaining.

We may have skiied for the last time this season. Katie and I hiked up to Mohawk Mtn in northern Connecticut (Emily was sick). It turned out to be 'Customer Appreciation Day' and lift tickets were free. Nice! We traversed the whole mountain (Greens, Blues and Blacks). The conditions were decent given the reasonably warm weather (high 40s); however, it was really windy. Ice pellets blowing into our faces cut the day short, but sealed the deal that we will be skiing lots next season.

Breakfast and Baseball - Yes, we all got up at 6am on Tuesday and Wednesday to watch the Sox open their season in Japan. The kids were excited and showed a real interest in learning the specifics of the game. Katie starts playing softball this Spring, so that may have something to do with it. Emily has always shown an interest in the game. She starts kickball this Spring.

Emily is the cartwheel queen. She is taking a gymnastics class, and Soooo want to be able to do a cartwheel she practices ALL THE TIME. if she has 5 minutes to spare, you can count on her lining up and trying to cartwheel. She's getting there, but isn't there yet. Watching how into it Emily has been, Katie has now joined the class.

We saw "No Country for Old Men" on DVD. Good movie (violent), but wow the end totally lost me. Anyone wants to explain it, feel free.
