BAB, the Ikea Baby. From a pdf file the artist created for an expecting friend.

My men’s group at my Church gave Olivia a beautiful, personalized blanket. She obviously loves it. Click for more pictures. Mouse feet!

 

Preston, Dylan and I went to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History yesterday. Preston just loved the Insect Zoo. No way was Dylan going to hold a bug, but it was hard to keep Preston away. He also held a big beetle, but I couldn’t get a picture as I had to help keep Preston from squishing it.

The new Ocean Hall is quite good. Even Dylan was impressed by the giant jellyfish (seen in foreground). Full-size right whale hangs from the ceiling, and videos of ocean scenes line the walls. Lots of informative exhibits about the ocean.

A lot more pictures are viewable via the Photography page (Natural History link)

 

Olivia has beautiful, long fingers

Preston has my hands. Click either image for slideshow…

 

Preston and I were having fun tonight, and I cut a few holes in a paper bag I was about to recycle. “Hey Preston, wanna be a monster”? He loved it, and the first thing he wanted to do was go upstairs and “scare mommy”. We got downstairs and it lasted just long enough for me to take a few shots.

Oh, to be 2 again, when all it takes to have such fun is a paper bag and a Dad with scissors. :)
