At the nearby Children's Museum there is an are we call the "Handy Manny" area. You build things with very basic simple parts: wheels, 'bolts,' 'nuts,' spokes, etc. Than and Emi now love this area and this last visit, Emi really got into it!
This one of a kind collection can be yours for the small price of one night of babysitting...no seriously...PLEASE?
A friend of ours has started her own business selling infant/toddler belts, and we HAD to buy one for Than. Not surprisingly, he has turned out to be quite the little model.

So, Christmas was wonderful! Two weeks of vacation and FAMILY, FAMILY, FAMILY!
Christmas presents:
Emi got a noisy hammer that she loved.
But as soon as she saw the 'yogurt melts' in her stocking she dropped the hammer immediately and started to reach and drool for them.
Than got a Buzz Lightyear and took/threw it everywhere.
I got a beautiful necklace and earrings from Jim that he got through National Geographic which went to support local craftsmen in Indonesia and India to keep their craft--that's been handed down through generations--preserved. Have I mentioned how much I love my husband and how thoughtful he is.
Now posting this makes me feel bad because, I only got Jim the game 'Scattergories.' He really likes it and he's been wanting a way to work on being more creative.
