Chess and science

The annual family chess tournament trip! First stop, pickles at the deli.



Next morning, the thing that they've been waiting for all year.



Gotta look stylish walking to the pool.


Browsing the mall together.




Watching cartoons.


Playing at the play emporium.



And, oh yeah, chess!

Hats from the Fête des Rois.


Please Touch Museum!






Sledding in some big-time snow.



Them's two angry birds there.


Shabbat queen.

'Tis the season

'Tis the season for kids standing around looking bewildered while a show goes on around them.

But Leo is starting to get the hang of it. (Three little pigs song.)

Giving Santa his letter.


I don't think I want any part of this.


Breaking the ice on the canal.



Louisa's first haircut.




Chappy Channukah!



A day on the town with Lucy and Aaron.






The long, long car ride.


A break for browsing at Best Buy.


Springfield!




Toledo!





Philadelphia!



A magic show at Louisa's school, and Leo got to work some magic of his own.



Behold! The tiniest skates in the world.






He runs, the pro.

Followed by hot chocolate.


The new year takes flight!
