Art and IKEA

For some reason, I'm feeling the need to hang a lot of photos lately. And I haven't framed a photo since about 2002 (my highly outdated "cool places I've been" collection bears witness to this). So, I've been on a hunt for an easy-to-change out photo system. Enter IKEA (of course) with a fun clothesline and hook system.

How fun is that?? Now if IKEA could just clean off the sideboard below that... Hmm. I bet they have some fun boxes... :)

And, what you really came here looking for: Eamon in tummy time, laughing at Ray.

Exhausting!

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter to everyone out there!

Eamon got all dressed up for children's mass (although Ray was frightened of the egg hunt afterwards - someone may go home with fewer children after that melee). And we hit breakfast afterwards, where Ray and Eamon got some good coffee.

Kidding about Eamon...

Eamon also got Easter gifts from all the grandparents, so he had to model (Thank you, he says.. burble burble...)
Hope you have a good Easter!

Car Show

Some of you out there will appreciate this (Denver auto show):(I like the scared M&M on the rear.. have you seen how those Nascar drivers drive??)
The big feature of the auto show was all the Ford truck with their extra steps and little bar to help you step up. I think the little bar looks like a cane. Jimmy demonstrated (you might need to click on the picture for the enlarged version, but note Ray and Eamon being "awed" by this innovation... hee).
The other highlight of the show was watching Jimmy measure all of the cars to see which ones could carry an 8' kayak inside. On that note.. I have fun videos of my roll if anyone is interested. :)

And if you're only interested in cute Eamon photos, well, I can pander to that, too. 

Eamon got a highchair via IKEA. We finally got it put together (a saga involving the fact that I probably left the requisite screws and allen wrench in the box in St. Cloud, but IKEA's customer service is actually more helpful than they pretend to be, and they sent me more), and while he's probably too small for it, he can hang out in it, and he was pretty content. Now, time for the gerber wieners (kidding!).
