I have some random photos to post today…just a collage of items from the past couple of weeks. Enjoy!

Here are a few that illustrate what happens when Husband is left at home with our daughter. One night I came home from work to find this poor little fellow:

And Anja didn’t get to use her bouncy seat one day because Bigtoes took it over:

And apparently this Wise Man decided to hoard his gift rather than give it to Baby Jesus:

And he likes to have fun with the baby, too. Here she is, having tummy time while happily wrapped in an afghan:

Moving on…here’s one from the Nutcracker display at Macy’s:

And an ice blob that appears to have been thrown from our neighbor’s deck and froze upon impact (sorry for the quality of the shot–taken through a screened window):

I spent New Year’s day with a new gift from my husband (a CD player, since I was still on my first one that I bought in 1994), a new CD from mom (Tony Bennett–yay! The first CD I ever bought was one of his…”Steppin’ Out”), and some sparkling Swedish beverage.

I went shopping this weekend and hit a green theme at Urban Outfitters (a pillow, curtains and a hat):

And the light was just right for a good point-and-shoot photo (still haven’t messed with the big camera) of my darling:

    I love The Selfish Wiseman display. Like he thought it over and decided that he really needs some frankincense and hopes that nobody saw him bring it.

    Been there. *shakes head slowly and laughs to himself* Been there.

    My guess is he took it out back and rubbed it all over himself. Ha!

    I’m guessing your “frankincense” was some tasty beverage or food.

    At least Anja and Hubby are enjoying their evenings alone! :) And that last shot… It could be professional. I love Mr Blue Toes (?). That was cute! :)

    No - I actually meant frankincense. It’s a great gift to bring when you’re a house guest!
    Last time we went to visit you guys - they were fresh out… so we just brought beer.

    You crack me about with that wiseman comment :o)

    And your little girl is really very gorgeous!!!

    Does she look like your baby pics?

    You know, she does look quite a bit like mine. But there’s a lot of Husband in her, too. It’s hard to say what she’ll look like other than her “own right self” (nod to a Frog and Toad book). :)
