Holiday Wrap Up

The holiday season is officially over, and we can all return to "normal".

That's of course harder for some (such as myself) than others.

As an example, Iona and I have spent many hours playing with her new mega-blocks (by playing, I mean, I build things, and she promptly destroys them). The first thing I built (which interestingly enough remained the most durable against Iona's repeated attacks) was a replica of a German World War II Sturmgeshutz tank destroyer.

Aren't German World War II vehicles the first thing everyone tries to build out of their new blocks on Christmas morning?

Here are some pictures of our holiday fun:

Mega-Block set does not include decals of German war
insignia for your tanks. Boo. 

And here comes a lightening fast assault.

Overturned, but still intact. Those Germans
create some damned resilient designs. 

With New Years' upon us, many of us make resolutions that none of us have any intention of keeping. I've never made any resolutions in the past, but this year, I've decided to resolve to be more judgmental and less tolerant (mostly towards idiots). May as well be something I can realistically attain. 

Iona resolves to rock on (as you can see in our 'Baby-Cam'* image below): 

We'd been listening to a lot of Chili Peppers that day. 

*Yeah, the baby-cam is slightly creepy (it reminds me of a particular episode of the Simpsons), but she makes all sorts of interesting and entertaining poses in her sleep.
