2009 and such...

Our holidays were an absolute whirlwind, leading to the demise of blog updates. There is so much to report that it's a bit overwhelming. A quick fix? Create a list and add pictures!

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? I've selected one highlight from our holiday (the twin nephews' NYC extravaganza) and have sprinkled a few of those images throughout the list.

Did you know you can buy a $27,000.00 Lego'd Batman? Yup.

  3. Oh my! It does indeed.
    Maybe that's how they justify the high price tag.
