Hello there friends.

I hope that you're having a nice day. I enjoyed day 2 of my three-day weekend. They're such a pleasure, aren't they.

Today my wife suggested that we go outside to build an igloo. I thought that was a FANTASTIC idea. I hadn't tried that in many years. Once Kenny fell asleep, we brought the baby monitor outside and started piling-up the snow in the yard next to the garage. We made a pretty big mound. After we piled up enough snow, we started hollowing out the pile. By the time we were (almost) finished, we could both sit inside.

Then, while I was doing the last little bit of snow-removal inside, the igloo collapsed on me. How disappointing. I was just about to light a candle and sit inside for a few minutes with my wife.

Kazuko and I decided to give it another shot tomorrow. My wife went inside to make lunch, while I piled up some more snow on the collapsed igloo for when we try again tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to take a picture inside the igloo for tomorrow's weblog.


Here's what we'll have to start with tomorrow. We have a lot more snow piled-up than we did the first time. Hopefully we'll have better results tomorrow.











Of course, I was able to take some pictures of baby Kentaro today too:


Kazuko put a cute outfit on Kenny today. The way his hat is on in this picture makes him look like a bishop.
