coney island, new year's day + some "drafts" of a holiday card

happy 2008, everybody! we celebrated by going to coney island after sleeping in a lot (we were all a little sickish for the holidays). turns out we slept in too much - the annual polar bear swim was totally over when we got there, and they even closed the acquarium early. so no sharks. no polar bears and no sharks. guess 08 just ain't the year for carniverous marine life. oh well. we still like the ocean (and the train ride to get there)

also: we're eventually going to make a holiday card. when we don't all look sick and corny. but if we HAD to do one today, this is what it would look like:

god bless and good luck in the year ahead!

and one last photo for good measure:
