Elliot's preferred breakfast spot. Nice and cozy warm. January 18, 2005

After a distressing hair trim, Elliot walked around for 20 minutes with one hand in his pocket, the other hand clutching a lollipop. January 21, 2005

During one of the coldest weeks of the winter, we went to the Discovery Center in Binghamton to see an exhibit of some of Jan Brett's books.

I think Elliot really enjoyed it. January 27, 2005

Elliot skiied quite a lot this winter, but this is the only picture we got. Taken at Hammond Hill. January 29, 2005
