Utah trip, and a wedding!

Sylvia in her butterfly outfit.

Sylvia is Very Interested in what her big brother is doing.

Here we are the the Salt Lake City Mormon temple, where Grandma Sue is getting married to Grandpa Wynn.




Sylvia wore a cute pink dress to the wedding. (Thanks, Sid, Laura, and Madeleine!)


Here is Eva with Nana, her grandmother.


Some of the spectacular Utah mountains.

And Nana with her great-granddaughter.

After Salt Lake City we drove to eastern Utah and hiked a bit in Arches National Park. Here is the Delicate Arch.

Orion and the Snow Rodents

Sylvia is steadily growing, and becoming a lively conversationalist. If only we knew what she was saying!

She falls asleep in unlikely poses.

Orion's drawing of an elephant. Better than I could do, I think.

A "ainbow"!
Trapped inside by the weather, Eva and Orion brought in some snow, and sculpted small figurines with it. The result...

... Snow rodents!

Sylvia again. Ain't she sweet?

January - most snow ever in Connecticut

Sylvia, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Orion has taken to calling himself a prince, wearing his white blanket as a cape, running around the house with a styrofoam sword, and telling us how he is going to "slew a dragon".

Our house after one of the bigger snowfalls. In January, we got more snow in New Haven than in any month in recorded history.

And here is the birthday boy - a very proud three years old. Orion had a pajama-themed birthday party with three friends: Miriam, Holly, and Cecilia. Eva entertained all with a finger-puppet staging of "The Frog Prince".
