Here’s some video proof (we managed to get her into a dress too):

The kids managed to avoid getting trampled. And I managed to avoid trampling anyone while getting race footage. Rowan did the 1-mile kids run and Una did the 1/2-mile. She was a powerhouse – fast out of the gate and she ran the whole way.  Some more photos and lots of race video here:

A little New Year’s Eve fun. Pound for pound I think it would be difficult to find a fiercer pirate than Una.

Thanks to Tracy and Andy, Valerie and I got a 24-hour furlough from the kids. We stayed at Costanoa (off of Highway 1 near Pescadero) and splurged for the room at the inn rather than the tent cabins.

We hiked around the Año Nuevo State Reserve the next day. Gorgeous weather and scenery. More photos here:

The gingerbread house that is. Rowan and Una had been waiting patiently for the moment on Christmas Eve when they could smash it up with hammers and dive in.

Rowan had his holiday pageant at César Chávez Elementary last week. It was a full half hour program loaded with songs. Both the morning and afternoon kindergarten classrooms – 40 kids.

They are doing “Cascabel” (Jingle Bells) in this movie. Rowan is at the back left wearing a white baseball shirt with black sleeves.

Check out my Flickr page for other song clips, including: “La Gallinita Roja” (The Little Red Hen), “Los Arboles” (The Trees), “Cinco Ojitas” (Five Leaves), “Hanukkah”, “Te Le” (Kwanzaa song), “Paz” (y libertad por todo el Mundo) (Peace (and freedom for the whole world)), and “La Raspa” (traditional Mexican dance):

Una did the 1/4-mile run at the Davis Turkey Trot on Saturday.

Rowan did the 1-mile race.

And Valerie did the 10K. 43:26 (6:59/mile). 2nd place Master’s women (40+)!!! And 17th woman overall out of 610!

I did a lot of cheering.
