A beautiful day for a bike ride on the levee! Wow, what an impressive skyline, New Orleans.

We really need to get a shed now. The boys got bikes for Christmas, and I got one for my birthday, and our dining room is now officially overrun with bicycles.

It’s not often you see icicles outside in New Orleans!

Sadly, we got no snow, but there was some satisfyingly crunchy ice on the ground. And enough of it that everything closing for a couple of days seemed sensible rather than paranoid.

When they were babies, bath pictures were my favorite. Now that the concept of privacy has been introduced to the boys, they’re not so keen on Mommy taking them anymore. Can’t say I really blame them.
