Inuit Day
First, here are some pics from Sam's 5th-grade class' Inuit presentation on Friday. Other students and parents were invited to walk through the classroom, which was decorated to evoke the snowy world of the Inuit, complete with howling wind, paper igloo, kayak, and small fires (made of fans with colored paper). At several stations were text the students had prepared describing the life and culture of the Inuit. The students, dressed for the occasion, were posted wax-museum style. Turned out to be very interesting, with lots of atmosphere! Susan and Josh and I toured the room.

| The kayak. Sophia, sitting in back, is at least as big a Harry Potter fan as Sam, and that's saying something. |
 |
| Here you can see the paper-and-fan fire. |
 |
| Sam wore a genuine Russian bear-skin coat borrow from our friend Juli Elliot. It belonged to her great aunt in Atlanta, GA. |
Visit of the Westerville Collinses!
 |
| Josh was so happy all weekend with our visitors. Also always trying to find ways to get the attention of those dwelling several feet above his head. In this case he was out on the sun porch holding up piece of artwork for us to view. |
 |
| The guys went bowling Saturday. Kevin and Stu won the day, but we all had a good time. Even Josh, who opted not to bowl, enjoyed the new surroundings. |
 |
| Sam and Emily, surprisingly, bonded Saturday evening over... well, I am not sure what. Vidya games? The new rock and roll music? Just fun to see them hanging out and chatting. |
 |
| Emily made good use of the new Cabela's slanket we got from Tim and Marlene for Christmas. |
 |
| Stu drafted a group for a game of Uno; fun was had by all. |
Other miscellany

| This is from a trip to Mendon Ponds with Josh last weekend. We went there for a birthday party and stayed to hike some trails. |
