Locks of Love

Missy decided to get her hair chopped off at the end of January. She went in with the idea of either a trim or to cut enough off to be able to donate to Locks of Love. She (and her hairdresser Queenie, yes Queenie- pink hair and all) decided to chop it off!

A Full House

It turned out that Nathan and his Dad did get to celebrate close to their birthdays. His Mom, Dad, sister Ellie, niece Lilu, and nephew Truman came to visit over the long weekend. It was nice spending time with family. We went to the Museum of Science and Industry (twice!), took mini-scenic drives, and enjoyed a private box at the House of Blues Sunday Gospel Brunch. They were nice enough to bring our bookshelves (among other misc items) from our old place, as well as the coldest weather we had seen all winter as a bonus (did we forget to say thank you?!) ;-)

Sure Are A Lot Of January Birthdays!

Nathan thought he would be lonely without his Dad to celebrate their back-to-back birthdays with but it turns out that he has two co-Googler friends that sandwich his birthday - Maria and JJ. We ate and played at Dave and Buster's.

Our First Visitors/New Year's Eve

For New Year's Eve, our friends Dan and Kayte came to visit us. We did a little sightseeing (not a lot as it was really cold while they were here), toured the Google office, played some Wii (and by some I mean Dan and Nathan played for HOURS ;-) ), and celebrated the incoming year.
