Snow, Day 2

So finally New England got a dose of “normal” snowfall and accumulation. And there’s just something about snow and kids – so off the two kiddos went, and really enjoyed their share of snow.

I posted a few pictures yesterday of my eldest, and the next two below is my youngest.

Finally snow

Winter’s been really mild here in New England. I’m not complaining – it’s just that playing with a little bit of snow is one of the few things we look forward to in winter.

So finally we’ve had some overnight accumulation, may 2 or 3 inches? As soon as Justine woke up and saw the snow, she went out and played. And of course, off I went and grabbed my camera.

Starting the year right

What better way to start the year than by family trips! My family went on back-to-back weekend trips to Atlantic City, New Jersey and New York.

Aside from Atlantic City, our main purpose was to stuff ourselves full with Filipino food, and in the East Coast, that means Jersey City (Max’s of Manila especially) and Woodside, NY (Jollibee and Red Ribbon bakeshop). No pictures there – no one wanted their picture shoving food into their mouths. Smile

All in all a great trip, made more memorable with infrequently-seen family and infrequently-tasted food.

Catching up…

Ok, I’ve been very busy since I came back from my trip, and have not been able to update my blog. For the (rest of the) New Year, I’ll strive to post more regularly, even if it’s just a picture a day.

Here are a few more images from the Philippines.
