Who Says Cats Can't Jump Rope...

Sunday, the girls were outside jumping rope.....and I heard them howling laughing and yelling "no Oreo"...well, our little pussy cat was chasing their jumpropes....so the girls decided to see if Oreo would actually jump rope.......

and as you can see....YES SHE CAN!! our little kitty got some serious air on this attempt at jumprope!!! Oreo is the supercat! I have to say, that this picture had all of us busting a gut laughing...we couldn't stop......I can't believe I actually got the cat mid-air......I think this photo could win us some $$$ in some goofy photo contest......

A Winters Day at the Beach...

Last weekend we took advantage of the amazing "winter" weather and headed out to Tomales Bay State Park to Hearts Desire Beach....we LOVE this beach...Brian and I have bee going here since I moved here in 1992....it's on the calm bay, no fog and it's the perfect place for kids to play...no big waves to wipe them out like on the Pacific... I didn't bring bathing suits, as it was only barely 70 degrees, but as you can see, it didn't stop my 2 from going in the water...after an hour, they were FREEZING...and happy...and Brian and I sat on the beach, watched the girls and enjoyed a nice bottle of wine......a perfect day for the Van Weeles...

February 08.....New Hampshire

The girls and I spent the week of February vacation in New Hampshire.....now, why did we leave the 70 degree weather of Marin County, CA for the FRIGID temps of New Hampshire??? well.....family of course.......however, it never got above 25 degrees for 10 days straight...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....we had a snowstorm while there, went bowling, the girls played in the snow and went sliding every single day, we ate lobsters, fried clams and LOTS of Dunkin' Donuts...and those of you from New England know..there is NOTHING like a Dunkin' Donut!!!!! I got to see lots of my friends, got to relax and sleep in....hmmm, flying 3000 miles just for that??

Most important was spending time with my brother Kevin and his family...here we are with Kevin and James who just turned 2...and boy, James is a whirlwind!! he loved being around the girls...and they thought he was just too cute!!! sadly when we took this picture, James' big brother Dylan wasn't with us.....and I'm such a bad Aunt, I never took another picture...
