This morning there were lots of girls in the house as Berit and Rowan both had friends sleep over, so Griffin and I escaped to breakfast in Boulder at the Village Coffee Shop, followed by used bookstore (I very recently turned him on to the Magic Treehouse books and he can't get enough) and swimming at the YMCA. Twas a great adventure.

Rowan thinks my job is cool :) She said that she wants to be a web designer when she grows up. I told her that we could make her a web page.

Berit's been practicing her Cockney accent for The Wind in the Willows which she is performing with the Peanut Butter Players Lunch Theatre. She's a stoat, among other things.

Last night as I was lying down to sleep with Griffin he asked me, "When people die Daddy, are they still able to think?"

I told him that I wasn't sure but that some people believed so. He was lost in thought for a while, and I fell asleep.

Griffin still says "Lello" for "yello" and "Candy Can." We're not in a hurry to correct him.

Griffin, who is already the sweetest boy in the land and tells me he loves me at regular intervals, tonight after telling me he loves me says, "I'll never forget the love part, Daddy."

Berit and I agree to pay $1 each time we yell at someone.

The inevitable is upon us: Berit got glasses today!

She has actually come to terms with the fact that she needs glasses. Today she and Rowan and Pam went to a play, and she commented to me afterwards that she could see the actors' faces much better when she put her glasses on.

Plus, they are some fairly stylin' spectacles :)

Rowan and I went up skiing today for about 3 hours. It was excellent. Rowan was right where she left off last year with just starting to control her turns and stops, which is perfect. She enjoyed it the whole time, I enjoyed it the whole time, and we just had a wonderful Daddy and daughter ski day. I told her I thought she would be skiing blues with Berit this season.
