This morning, it's bright and sunny. I can't seem to capture the way the snow sparkles like glitter, but it's really pretty. And I am fascinated with the long shadows. When you see the sun as little as we do, shadows are a bit of a novelty!

Swan Song of Snowblower?
Well, at least we hope so! It snowed about 4 inches yesterday.
This morning, it's bright and sunny. I can't seem to capture the way the snow sparkles like glitter, but it's really pretty. And I am fascinated with the long shadows. When you see the sun as little as we do, shadows are a bit of a novelty!

Our very own science guy
Our Sunday night small group has our very own Science Guy!
Michael, a high school physics teacher, had some liquid nitrogen leftover from an experiment day at school. How often does someone call you and say they have some liquid nitrogen and would it be ok to bring a snack for the meeting? Not very often, I bet!
Michael is assisted by his lovely wife Kelly, who has the good sense to keep her distance.
Everybody oohs and aahs form a respectful distance as the liquid nitrogen is poured into the cup.
Michael dips a graham cracker in the nitrogen, eats it, and
Voila! He has that fire-breathing dragon look!
Next, he pours nitrogen over a balloon
and we watch it shrivel up as the air inside is cooled to a liquid
and then it expands again as the air warms up.
Last of all, Michael pours nitrogen over strawberries and grapes.
There's nothing quite like grapes that have been frozen so quickly with liquid nitrogen! They're sweeter than grapes from your freezer.

Comparing Girls
What do you think? Any resemblance at all? So here is Baby Nora
And here is Baby Carolyn
Here is the current Sleeping Beauty
And here is the 2006 model.
Little Nora likes to stare at us.
And Carolyn was a good starer too.
More sleeping girls, first the new one
And here is the older one
Fleeting baby smiles have been witnessed, but are harder to catch this time.
Here is one of Carolyn's early smiles.
You can also check out some baby pictures of various family members and muse on Nora's resemblance to others. Click here.
