I just read that a child between 2 and 5 asks an estimated 427,050 questions. Piper is 7 and not at all shy about asking questions. About everything. What do you suppose her tally would be?

These are the penguins Piper felted from a kit she received for Christmas.

They would like to draw your attention to the newly decorated website. Tim was marvelously patient with the few little suggestions that Piper and I made. :-) We were especially pleased with the penguin font he found to make it “just a bit more winterish”. Piper drew the penguins on the side using the computer.

A few photos from Christmas…

Piper’s sugar cookies

She has really come a long way, and even did a lot of the rolling this year!

And last, but certainly not least, the lego castle, complete with Jewel the dragon who is, of course, a good dragon despite any indications to the contrary.
