A kid at heart!

Believe it or not, our kids didn't really ever play much with Legos. The blue box on the bed there is the one and only Lego set I ever purchased as a parent. Despite what our kids say now, they were not that interested in them. Maybe they got their fill at their friends' houses.

Baby Harry, especially, loves Legos. He has taken to asking me for "the little Legos" and I'm not sure what he means. I do have Duplo blocks - which are like big Legos - so maybe he wants to differentiate between those and the ones in the blue box.

Yesterday he was pretty insistent that we get out the "little Legos." Since there were a lot of toys out, and they were strewn about a bit - afterall, there were 8 children under 14 looking to entertain themselves - I suggested that he play with them in the guest room, a suggestion he readily agreed too.

So I smiled when I peeked in and noticed this little scene - which thankfully Donna captured.

We do have some Lego kits that came courtesy of Bryan Lee - who always kept his belongings in perfect order - they are in little plastic bags - I think they are old Star Wars-ish or something outer space. I'm not sure where they are - I will keep an eye out for them - for when Baby Harry tires of the "little Legos!"

Commemorations of sorts for the first of April

Happy First Anniversary to Hester and Andreas!!

On a sadder note, Fred's mother passed away this morning. She would have been 91 this year. She died peacefully after just one night in the hospital, and she had her daughters with her. Fred and Joan were scheduled to leave on the 2nd for a Mediterranean cruise, so the timing was good - and they had insurance to cover if they had to cancel - Fred is pretty thorough. We extend our condolences to the family. I only met Fred's mom a few times, but every time I did, we had a nice interaction.

And the new truck? Well, Harry decided against all of them - said it would be April Foolish!
