Snow Days!

We're housebound.

Here are a few photos from our first real snow (and ice) storm of the year.

A Warning

This, to ward off preschool classmates who had the nerve to knock down Naomi's tower.

The only problem was, none of the other kids could read it.

A First Camera for Young Photographers

Photo by Naomi, age 4.

We attempt to encourage the kids' creativity as much as possible, so we were thrilled when the grandparents bought the girls a digital camera for Christmas. Unfortunately, despite a rugged-looking plastic shell and seemingly reputable co-branding (I'm looking at you, Crayola), the thing was a piece of crap. I mean, this sub-megapixel clunker required drivers to be installed (what is this, 1998?) and only worked on PCs (we're a Mac household, thank you very much). Easily returned, we used the $50 that thing cost to purchase them a new-in-box Canon Powershot A460 on eBay. Not bad for a first camera. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Chandler!

Here's a collection of the kids' first photos.
