Making a list, checking it twice.

By popular demand, here are some stats from the back of Hank's baseball card for anyone on the internet who is itching to do some Christmas shopping for a random kid.

Hank is 14 months old but wears 18-24 month clothing.

He's a sensitive boy so his wardrobe is all cotton (Polyester in 2007? Puh-leeze).

Shoe size is a manly "6" toddler

He is way into School Buses, Dump Trucks and Fire Trucks like you wouldn't believe.

He enjoys the Fisher Price Little People vehicles (he has the school bus and the dump truck).

He's still into reading board books (his passion for the written word is strong, so occasionally paper books get torn).

Our house is small, if you have an unquenchable thirst to buy something "Drive-able" please take that into consideration.

Vacation Highlights

So far our vacation has not been super-relaxing.

Our dog was attacking the blind dogs at the kennel, Wayne had some minor food poisoning on his way up North, and now Penny has thrown her back out somehow.

Needless to say without the help from all manner of family and friends back home we would have had to cut the whole thing even shorter than we expected. We ended up getting a couple of good days up in Glen Arbor as these photos from Art's Tavern prove:


The family


In the background is the waitress that Hank was flirting with nonstop.


So Long from Glen Arbor!
