Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!  It was good to see everyone and for those who couldn't make it we thought we'd share just a few pictures of the girls.

There was quite a haul around here this year.  From giant bean-bag chairs and Nerf guns to American Girl doll clothes; the girls loved it.  And since Elsa and Nora can't stop reading books, they both have their own Kindles now.  They now have a two week break to enjoy all of the loot.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday to Jenna

So as you can see from these pictures, Jenna loves her planes!  She really seems to dig being the party kid too.  Thanks to everyone for bringing the food and indulging her obsession with Planes.

Here's to Jenna!

Polska!

So here are quite a few pictures from the trip so far.  Sorry there are so many pictures of buildings...there isn't much to look at here.  Also, despite what you may think I have not photoshopped the grey sky into every picture, or the old Polish people, those two things are hard to get out of the pictures.

Our two days in Warsaw were foggy, cold, sometimes rainy and windy.  So, real nice by Polish standards.  We put in 8 miles of walking on Sunday and got to see plenty of Warsaw.  It's a good sized city (2.5 mil), so it was busy, lots of stores, lots of people etc.  Almost everyone speaks English, so it's been easy to get by.  We had some amazing meals in Warsaw, from small restaurants to sidewalk vendors selling Kielbasa, it's been the highlight of the trip.

As for Lodz, the cloud cover finally broke for a bit this morning and tomorrow should be sunny as well.  Haven't seen too much of the city yet, but will try to get to it tomorrow.

Later comrades
Warsaw, some palace or something
