Liam's favorite song at present is Swing Low Sweet Chariot. I must try to get a video or at least audio clip of the two of them singing it together. Below is their duet rendition on the piano.
I worked in Seward, AK, a couple of weeks ago and will go again in a couple of weeks. Russell and the kids go as well and the hospital puts us up in their B&B. We usually get a couple of rooms along with the common kitchen, but had only one this time. Natalie has always referred to it as the "compartment" in Seward (instead of apartment). But, it is really so much more fitting a term that we talk of when we will return to the compartment as well. Nonetheless, it is fun and different medicine for me and we all generally have a pretty good time. Above is a picture of downtown Seward in the early evening in January.
Here is the view of Mount Alice that you see across Resurrection Bay in Seward complimented by the lovely low angle light of winter.
We tried stopping along Turnagain Arm on the way home after working in Seward to enjoy some of the new snow. Unfortunately, with a stiff North wind it was awfully bitter cold for the kids and our foray was not as long as we might have wished.
While Liam will still ride in the Chariot without much complaint, he is a heavier 2 year old than Natalie was. I took Natalie and Liam both out skiing today. It was Liam's first time on the snow in his little strap on skis and he loved it. When I tried to get him to go back in the Chariot all I heard was "Want some more ski!"
BATH TIME!

We built a snow tunnel from the snow on the deck. It was a collective effort to both pile the snow and dig it out and all were involved.

Liam was pretty excited about his birthday Brownie and ice cream!
