winter fun, Pi Pound, and a really cool toy

We are still working on fixing up our new house, so I will post pictures eventually of it. Also, our good friends the Steiners are in town and will be staying with us from tomorrow for a week. We are really looking forward to the good times we will surely have with them. This is our third visit in 12 months with them so I know how good it will be. In addition to the friendship, there is something phenomenal about 4 kids under 5 together under one roof :-)

On with the pictures:

An early morning (for them) call with my Mom and Clara


Building a snowman over webcam was so much fun. Sam had been looking forward to it for a whole week and was so engaged in the process.


Here are a few pictures of bamboo bungalows that I'm considering using as a theory for our treehouse (have I mentioned that I want to build a treehouse here?)- I'm torn between the open model...
And the closed but with windows option
Here are some more pics of Pi Pound with the boys today






Sam and I have such a great time in the evenings after Jeff goes to bed. Tonight we played with Wedgits- anyone have these? They are such a fun toy and it really boggles my mind how many ways they can wedge together (thanks E)
