O Christmas Tree...

Here is a picture of our Christmas tree from 2005. It was difficult to "rock around this Christmas tree," but it did bring a little of the Christmas spirit into our home. Jeff has big plans for our wall tree next year! He spent most of Christmas Eve planning next year's display.

Rainy days...

Check out those boots! Clarinda was completely shocked by just how much it rains here in NYC. She'd probably guess that it rains an average of 3-4 days each week. That's a lot of wet! It's odd how dry it feels on those rare, non-rainy days. If she's not decked out in her boots, her hair is wildly static. Just can't win...

Our apartment

We promised to put up some pics of our apartment in Brooklyn months ago, so here you go!


This is our front door.

We live on the 2nd floor--right in the middle of this upward hallway.

Check out the cupboard space! This is a true rarity in this city. This is probably the nicest kitchens Clarinda has had in many years.
