Our January

January is almost over, the weather up here has been miserable so I am glad to see it come to an end. We have a couple of huge trees in the backyard and during one of the storms I thought I heard an explosion in the middle of the night. When we woke up we found that it had actually been a huge limb falling off one of the trees. It was about 30 feet long and we were so lucky that it did minimal damage to our fence and missed Nico's play set. The only good thing about the crappy weather was the snow days, Mir and Filipe both got some days off.
Nico is a little machine that just goes all the time - he is into EVERYTHING and keeps us on our toes. He is a happy little guy, but is very stubborn and know what he wants. He is curious about everything and seems to be learning something new everyday.

At Mir's school they have finals at the end of the semester that count toward a huge chunk of their grade. They were last week, she studied hard for them and did really good this term. So to celebrate we went over to the Seattle Center on Friday, it was Nico's first trip to the Space Needle.
He was a little trooper - the weather was (again!) terrible but he was pretty good most of the day.
Mir and her friend Mo were excited to see the Harry Potter Exhibition, they had a ton of the stuff from the movies on display, they even got sorted by the Sorting Hat:)
We met Filipe for dinner and then Mir took some pictures on the ferry on the way home.
