We took some of the time I have between jobs to visit Leavenworth for a few days. The city was transformed to a Bavarian Village for commercial like 50 years ago, but there’s nearly always snow on the ground and they have some sweet light displays in the winter. We VRBOed a condo in the small town and spent the long weekend playing in the snow, eating, and just plain chilling out. Dom seemed to really like the snow, although he didn’t have a big interest in sledding at this point. All he really cared to do was pick up snowballs and kick snow. Us? We resorted to some adult beverages and sitting by the fireplace. Oh… and driving there and back was pretty sweet, too. This really is a beautiful part of the country and we talked about making a long weekend every winter a tradition. I’m looking forward to renting snow machines – I think Melissa will be the one responsible for skiing.

Christmas Time 2018
We interrupt the Italy picture love fest to bring you a few from this holiday season. We did everything low key – no traveling and no visitors, except a Friendsgiving with the Kizers. Dom is old enough to be a big fan of Christmas lights but isn’t quite old enough to get the concept of Christmas. All he really knows is he got a cool new table, suitcases, and some toys. We spent a lot of the month catching our breaths and just hanging out at home. It was nice.
We’ve got a busy January coming, so everything’s already put away. :-D
Farmers Market
Yes, we’re still working on Italy pictures. There’s only so much time you want to spend quiet hours at home working on photos. I predict we’ll have the first batch up around Thanksgiving. In the meantime, here are a few photos from the Ballard Farmers Market today. I’m not sure if he was more interested in picking up pennies off the ground or the free sample of smoked salmon. Okay, that’s a lie. He likes his “monies” but he loved the salmon.
