Wiener Eistraum 2009, takes 1 and 2!






Getting comfortable on the ice - with the help of Mr. Penguin




I can do it myself!!!

And now I'll expound on the reasons why I'm okay doing this "sans penguin"

Steve's shots of the environs! The Rathaus, here

And a nice shot of Votivkirche

The Burgtheater

Add ImageWhat can you say about this guy??


Faschings Dienstag (Mardi Gras!) over here means...of course...fun pastry!

The church at Kahlenberg mountain (within the Vienna woods!), overlooking the city. Jan III Sobieski, King of Poland launched his attack on the Turkish forces during the second siege of Vienna from here.

The snowy Wienerwald (Vienna woods), on the way back from Kahlenberg

Steve grabbed the animal crackers bag and hid behind the door in the dining room!!

Dressed up for Fasching (pre-Lent Carneval season) at music class



My deeeelicious Valentine's gift - best chocolate in town!!

We just can't get that Raggy to stay off the sauce:)

Snow, snow, and more snow!



Kate's picture of her favorite show, The Little Einsteins- she says that the big circle is their Rocket, and the little circles are the four Einsteins characters

Ever fashion-forward...







We haven't been able to get a really good video of little Steve's Stevie Wonder impression (apologies to any who take offense at that:)!), but here's a short clip - he basically does this whenever you say "dance, dance" Very Pavlovian, but makes us laugh.
