So here we all find ourselves at the end of the year. Hi!

Taking stock:

• Felix started speaking French, rides a bike without training wheels, and has made a solid start at reading.
• Milo ditched the diapers (yaaaaaay!), found a gift for learning songs, and graduated from a trike to a bike with training wheels. Oh yeah: he started talking in complete sentences. Jeez, was that really this year!?
• The company that Dean co-founded last year, Widgetbox, grew from to 10 to 21 people and so far the gray hairs seem natural rather than stress-related.
• Lucie achieved an enviable work/life balance, being there for the kids and managing to take the entire month of August off, yet still able to pick and choose her gigs for fun and profit.
• Both Dean and Lucie managed to maintain their girlish figures.

To celebrate an excellent year, we went to our friend Andrew's house for New Year's eve, where Lucie participated in an Iron Chef Competition. Here's the pix.
