Five full years

It's five years since the start of our adventure in New York's Capital District.  Wow.  Back then we had no idea we'd still be here now, but here we appear still to be.  Can't be that bad, then, you'd have to suppose.

Much better than not bad, of course.  A few family highlights from our life in the States (in no particular order):

Winning a skating competition, and skating in general (Girl)
Visiting Lake Placid (Boy)
Trip to the Grand Canyon (Man and me)
Skiing together
Indian Ladder Farms, and Trail
Jiminy Peak and Zoom Flume
Over-nighting in the State Museum
Breakneck Ridge
Boston
Sleepaway camps
Having a pool
Washington DC
Black Friday Fair Trade Market
NYC
Cape Cod
Niagara Falls
Making new friends
Five Rivers
Big snow and intense cold
Ice-creams the size of our heads
