2. Tal had strep AGAIN last week.
3. Chad had strep the week before that.
4. And the week before that was when Tal had it the first time.
5. The doctor suggested Tal get his tonsils out. We already did that 4 years ago. Any other ideas?
6. Sometime between strep throats Chad and I went on a romantical weekend getaway to snowy Sedona... with Fia.
7. Fia hated Sedona and told us the whole time we were there.
8. The other kids joined us at some point and played in the snow. I didn't take even one picture.
9. Did I tell you about Tal and his obsession with survival kits?
10. no?
11. Well he has an obsession with survival paraphanellia. Now you know.

12. When we went camping, Tal's uncle cut his finger. We asked Tal to get him a band-aid out of his survival kit. Tal examined the cut, declared it was NOT an emergency and declined him a band-aid.
13. Liv started going to pre-school. It turns out home schooling is hard.

14. Here is what I did for Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends. It really is all about presentation.
16. Fia is a climber. I have never had a climber, a daredevil, a child with out fear of anything. Nothing is safe. NOTHING.
