Tessa turned 16!!

Tessa's sixteenth birthday came during our Tuscany vacation. The picture above we shot just before her birthday. Only now at home while reviewing our vacation pictures did I realize the house number in the picture. 15!! So Tessa is at 15 knocking on the door to get to 16!! Get it?

Around Town

Pictures from around town. It snowed again. The kids played in the snow in front of the Kunsthistorische Museum. They 'skated' on a puddle of ice. Ani tried on my glasses. We found a walrus and a sun bear in the Naturhistorische Museum. I light my hand on fire. Isn't vacation nice?

SNOW richtig Schnee!! (for Tessa)

Tessa is here!!!! And it's been slowly, but steadily snowing for the past 2 days. This Sunday morning we have a nice 4 inch layer of snow covering the sidewalks, parked cars, trees and rooftops. Yesterday we took the sled out to Stadtpark, and played in the snow. In the morning Anika was narrating a cellphone video tour of the apartment, Pascal was taking pictures of everything and everyone, and Tessa was setting up a photo shoot by the window in her room. I was videotaping the videographers and photographers.
