New Years Eve

We haven't really thought much about new years eve in the past three years -- my theory is that it has something to do with children. However, since we had parental support tonight, Chloe and I made our first NYE sortie in a long time! We put the kids to sleep, took the cell phones with us and instructed the parents to call us in case of kid problems. Despite the temptation, we did not hop on a plane to Kalymnos at this point, but went instead to an old friend's place, where they were having a party. It felt good to get out and be child free for a few hours.

Catch up

A combination of being fully committed to vacation mode and not having fully figured out how to deal with the increased volume of files from the K-5 have conspired to prevent me from posting updates. I will gradually get through the backlog, but the posts will be dated with their original times, so wont appear at the top of this page.
