Hall of mirrors

This blog is a mixture of our travel adventures and our new family adventures.
The title comes from a dumb blonde high school girl on a tour with us in Versailles who asked this question in every single room of the Palace.
The picture was taken while on our Honeymoon in China, on the Xian river.

It's Christmas!!

Update on Atlas - I kept him home from school on Monday, and he was completely normal- annoying even, and went to school on Tuesday.   You'd never know anything was wrong, aside from the fact that I waited an entire week to let him take another shower/bath.  It's winter, he didn't' go outside at all because of the cold and snow, so I don't feel too bad about it.  But yeah, 7 days of no shower. 


Christmas nice.  We were in Cinci this year, and got into town late (as usual) Friday night.   The boys slept most of the way, but I'm really looking forward to their gift from 'Santa' - DVD players for the car.   Sometimes you just need silence, and with my boys - we don't get that.  


I only took a couple photos with my camera phone.  The camera is terrible, and the pictures always come out blurry.    ALWAYS.  Naturally, no photo of the 4 of us, because Atlas wouldn't cooperate.


The big gift that was played with constantly?  these little beaded guys on elastic string with suction cup hands/feet.  $7 for 3 of them, and they were played with all weekend.   Also popular:  Trucks, Legos, OSU costume (with helmets) and all things Paw Patrol (Atlas). 


I got Adam a Jeep belt and something else I can't even remember, (something small) and he got me some prints based off of Disney watercolors that he put in frames for us to put in the new laundry room (That's not started, or even designed yet).  A nice Christmas with the inlaws (and Leah/Amanda).  We had fun, it was pretty relaxing - and now we're back at work.  *sigh*.   Wish I could take a 3 day weekend this coming weekend, but HUGE deadline, on a project that's not even mine, it was given to me last week, with 6 workdays to complete - oh, and it's workday #3 and I still dont' have access to the database I need to use.   LOVELY. 


I think there were 28 people playing.  
Adam's cousin Rob won.  So happy for him. 

This kid - so handsome.

This kid just had so much fun. 
He was certainly enjoying the party.
