So, a lot of video postings here lately from me but little in the way of news about us or the kids which I suspect is what you really want. The boys and I are doing our best to beat the winter blues and the cabin fever that goes with it. With this last bit of snow I was running Ian around on the sled and Noa too when he could stand it. E recently took them out in the wagon with great results. We enjoy going to the museums here a lot. The library in Chicago has passes to all the major museums available for a 7 day loan and we make great use of that. Also each museum has a number of discount/free admission days that we mark in our calender. Ian's faves are the Field Museum and the Notebaert Nature Museum. We have yet to make the trip to the Museum of Science and Industry. It is an hour and a half commute by public transit or a $16 parking fee. We'll wait for a special day (& a free day) and drive down there.

Noa is on the move! He cannot crawl yet but we think that is because it is easier to scoot about on his bum with his fleece jammers or pants on our hardwood floors. He can't get any traction with his knees. This means trouble of course. Ian is having a hard time adjusting to this new situation. Specifically in relation to his train set which Noa gravitates to like Godzilla to Tokyo.
