January Made Me Shiver

After an eventful holiday season, we laid pretty low in January.  The highlight of the month was definitely our several trips to the Alameda Little Ice Rink.  Virginia amazed us all and actually skated quite a bit on her own.  Best of all were the little seal ride-on toys that they provided - she could use them to practice skating and also ride on them when she got tired.

January also started Virginia on the party circuit - a lot of her little friends started hitting the three year milestone and Virginia was invited to several events (that almost always involved a bouncy house!).  Here she is at the birthday of her buddy Isabel, one of the members of her playgroup.

Finally, we capped off the month with an overnight visit to Double Creek Ranch - the Mendocino County home of the Griffingers.  It was great to get out of the city for the weekend and enjoy the country air and good company!
