Happy 2011! We decided to write our New Years greeting in the SNOW for everyone!
Also - unrelated to the new year, but we met quite the interesting character outside....

Pea's House (Colorado), USA - 16th January 2011
By: GabbyGecko
We were watching the news the other night and saw a story about how handwriting is a lost art these days. Most people use computers so less and less children are having to learn good handwriting skills.
Pea told us that her person LOVES hand writing, so we decided to pull out some of her caligraphy supplies so we could learn how to write! Obviuosly - we know how to type - how else would we get our travel logs updated??? In case we ever got lost and needed to write home - we could write a message in a bottle by hand!
First we needed to learn the tools... This is a fountain pen:
We studied some examples:
Did lots of practice letters:

And more letters. Repetition is the key!

Then we practiced our signatures so that when we're famous - we can sign tons of autographs!!
I'm very excited about tomorrow - we get to go see the horses!

Hiiiiii!!!!
Sorry it's been a week or two since I have updated... I was afraid we lost our host behind a mountain of paper. We've knew she was in there as we would occasionally here a rustle of papers every now and then and her yelling when a stack would fall over. Finally - all the paper is gone and she has emerged victorious!
It has been very cold here in Colorado - so cold in fact that all the major schools in the state have been cancelled for fear that their students will get frostbitten! The high today was -1 F. We wanted to see who could last the longest outside tonight. But no one won - we all started screaming as soon as the door was shut to be let back in.

Once our teeth stopped chattering - we went to see how cold it was outside. Holy cow! And its supposed to be even colder tomorrow! -39!!
We had bug shaped pasta for dinner this evening. I am a carnivore by nature so I wasnt too convinced with the pasta idea... I would have preferred steak. But it made Pea so happy that I went ahead and ate anyways.
We also have a new TV in the house! Diddl-Maus has come to stay. I also hear that I will be heading out to Norway this week on my next adventure! I was glad to be able to cross paths with Diddl-Maus for this short period. Thanks everyone in Colorado!
