Lucas Camilo

For the first time since we moved here, we woke up to a layer of snow on the ground this morning!  Krista taught an early morning yoga class and got home in time for a still pretty early morning snow walk.  We’re happy to report Lucas’s chair handles an inch and a half of snow well.

Lucas is obsessed with air quotes these days.  He doesn’t understand what they mean, exactly, but he hears the emphasis — maybe even understands the intonation of a question, or sarcasm, or something.  He loves it.  He uses them to make any point, to make a joke, or just to liven up an already celebratory morning.  He heard Burke comment that the snow was nice but not exactly a blizzard, and he lit up.  So we walked around with Lucas exclaiming “It’s not exactly a ‘BLIZZARD’!”  He even insisted that we take off his mittens so he could properly do air quotes while saying “blizzard.”  Of course, it wasn’t until we got home that he asked what “blizzard” means.

We wish you a wonderful winter solstice tomorrow!
