Hello again

Boy am I glad that my parents gave us all these AWESOME Fisher Price toys that me and my siblings played with when we were young. We are definitely getting good use out of them since we rarely venture outside. Brendan loves playing with all the animals and little people. It keeps him occupied enough that I can get quite a bit done. Thanks, Mom and Dad!

I couldn't resist putting this picture in. He really needs a haircut. I'll probably tackle that tonight.

This is currently Brendan's favorite kitchen accessory- the stool. It's vital for me since I'm only 5 feet tall and now he has discovered that there's a whole new world up there that he couldn't access before.

He mostly just loves to play in the sink, which has caused some problems. He has eaten a dirty sponge, tried to drink disgusting sink water, splashed disgusting sink water all over me and the dishes I just cleaned, and broke one glass. But he also got a sponge and wiped down all the lower cabinets for me so it's not all bad. :)

Okay, so I promised to post some pictures of our new town. Well, here they are.

The most I can offer you are all pictures taken while in my house. It's just too dang cold and I'm a wuss. This one was taken from my tiny kitchen window. Can you believe those icicles?

This is the view from Brendan's room. As you can see, most of the houses are built almost on top of each other in this part of town. We have no yard so I guess it's a good thing it's winter and we couldn't enjoy it even if we did have one.

I did brave the cold for two seconds while I stepped out onto our porch to take this photo. That's as good as it's going to get. For now.
