Feast of St Nicholas

Happy feast of Saint Nicholas to all!

Not having a fireplace, we improvised with the stocking-hanging location. Near the back door, in the kitchen, works well enough for us!

Manny and Jonah are thrilled with their puppy stockings. Iohan slept thru the party, and, like most babies, will probably sleep thru most of the special days of his infancy.



$1 flatware from Target...






...and a little box of Jelly Belly jelly beans are enough to make two boys very happy. Yet another reason to treasure these early years.







Gabriel spent way too long putting this mini-kitchen together, not because of any ineptitude on his part, but because the thing arrived in an impossibly large number of separate pieces. I almost burst into tears when I looked into the box, but Gabe saved the day when he said, "Don't worry, honey, I'll take care of it. What are dads for if not this?" Thankfully, the boys really like it, so it wasn't time wasted. Well done, Gabriel.
