Random Fun Pics

I'm realizing for about the catrillionth time that catching up a blog is tedious work - much more fun to write up the event while details are fresh in my mind. Since I've been so slack on this in the last ... lot of months, I'll just share a quick overview of life since circa Fall, 2009.

BB and I hit NYC at the beginning of the year - he was speaking at a conference and I was along for the ride. I have really missed spending time in the city (I used to go about every year before I was married - not that I'm knocking marriage :)
Some hilights were:
Wicked - Spectacular
Lower Manhattan/Canal Street - one year I vow to do my Christmas shopping there
Museum of Natural History
This old Swedish cottage that was actually transplanted from Sweden to the U.S. and is now located in Central Park. I'm kind of a sucker for all things Sweden:
We saw the new Yankee Stadium (and maybe shed a tear at the sight of the original being torn down):

Thanks to the generosity of our dear friends Mike and Dixie, I made two trips (one with just the girls and one with couples) down to the Bryce Canyon area and got to go snow shoeing in Bryce as well as Kodachrome Canyon.

I highly recommend their spectacular inn if you're ever in the area!

The kids are becoming quite the skiers. Diggity got a lot of notice because he was so small cutting a trail down the slope.

BB and Anushka went to a Daddy-Daughter Valentines Dance.

Our little Diggity had to have his tonsils out. Here he is pre-surgery:

And post-op (still a little stoned):

Anushka's birthday had a St. Patrick's theme this year...

Here she is showing off her birthday outfit:

Easter outfits before Easter. We actually spent Easter weekend in San Jose.

Here is one huge reason why we moved to the 'burbs. This is a representation of the kids covering about 5 streets. They are getting ready for the neighborhood Easter egg hunt which has become an annual tradition:

D-man with his buddy Isaac - seriously, two peas in a pod...
And they'll be in the same Kindergarten class in a few weeks (yikes)

Here are a couple shots from the Easter trip we took to San Jose. Once again it was a business trip for BB and we came along. This was at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium:

BB having a wheel chair race at the San Jose Tech museum. They also got to experience how an actual earthquake feels. It was a hit...

I also hooked up with one of my best friends from childhood and her kids...

Our kids hit it off. Seriously - 'Heidi and Liz...The Next Generation'

We hung out in Santa Cruz while poor Daddy had to go to work every day... We would have rather had him with us.

And finally, our new family pet... j/k... He wandered into the back yard while we were weeding.

Diggity was broken hearted when he flew away after being fed almost an entire loaf of bread.
