Sledding
As good parents, we used the five inches of snow outside as an opportunity to go sledding. We went to Elliot's favorite park, and, thankfully, we ran into a family that had made a perfect sledding trail for small kids. Elliot had a good time, although he doesn't stay seated when he goes down the hill (instead, he lies supine on the sled). Oh well, he'll learn before long.

Afghan fashion show
A couple Christmases ago, Dem's brother Erick brought back a drum and outfit for Elliot from his deployment in Afghanistan. Elliot plays with the drum pretty often, but he usually doesn't pull out the outfit. That is until recently, when he and Demaree put on an improvisational fashion show.
Birthday Dinner
It was my birthday recently, and Demaree took me out to Cucina Toscana (a local hoighty-toighty Italian restaurant we've both wanted to try for a while now). It was quite good, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Here are some photos.
And thanks to our friends who watched Elliot and made possible our great evening out. Y'all are the best.

Week in Review
I'm sitting here watching the Steelers v. Jets game and thought a week-in-review post is in order. We started out the week without much ado. Dem went to school, Elliot went to school (i.e., daycare), and I went to work. Elliot's doing well in school, better than last semester in fact. He really enjoys the kids he's with and loves going outside in the snow. On Wednesday, I went to pick him up early, and when I looked through his classroom's window, I saw him holding hands with his classmates singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." It was a fantastic sight to behold.
Dem has already begun her "Coronazione di Poppea" rehearsals. And in a sweet turns of events, she was given the opportunity to write the rehearsal schedule. This means she is able to schedule herself on or off any given day. This has been a lifesaver. Also, Demaree used her Christmas present on Saturday. (Her present was two tickets to a movie and a gift certificate to a local French bistro. My only stipulation for using this present was she couldn't use it with me. She had to invite one of her girlfriends along.) She invited Melissa and Erin. From what I gathered, they had a great time, which was the point of the present.
As for me, it was a lot of working to drum up business. On Wednesday, I helped a local women's shelter with protective orders. On Friday, I went to Provo and had lunch with my BYU/attorney buddy Randy before meeting with a potential client. After that meeting, I met with a bailbondsman who just started his business about six months ago. Nice guy. Hopefully, clients will result from this personal networking. And as an aside, I picked up a domain name for my website: www.BrownCriminalDefense.com. It should be up (in a very preliminary state) this next week.
Oh, and Dem and I spoke in church today. We spoke on new year resolutions. We both widdled that subject down a bit. Dem focused on magnifying one's calling, and I on missionary work. We both enjoy speaking and the talks turned out well.
Well, that's the week in review. Hope you all had a great week.
