Last of 2011

 We've been enjoying Carl and Cindy's visit. Fortunately, the weather has been great, so we've been able to visit several picturesque Kansas City locations.





Carl continued his handyman ways...this time he was on the roof (!) insulating the windows from the cold weather that is supposed to be showing up one of these days...


 Emerson and Brisquette met again, for the first time. This may have been the first time Emerson was aware of the existence of his "big sister."


 We've always thought the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art would be a great place to bring the baby, so we tried it out today. Emerson looked at a lot of lights and walls (not sure if he ever looked at any actual art), watched part of a weird video installation (until he got too restless), and slept in his Baby Bjorn; he also ate and got his diaper changed in one of the galleries. All in all, he had a pretty big day!

Oddly enough, we also ran into a couple from our childbirth class. They used the same midwife and had their baby about 6 weeks after we did. It was fun to see their cute little girl (also riding in a carrier on her daddy's chest!).


 Finally, there was a Great Moment In Art when Alison encountered her doppelganger. Fortunately, there was time for a photo op.



We hope that 2012 is the year that you find yourself in a weird modernist painting. Happy new year!

Is finding yourself in a weird modernist painting the same thing as finding your hand twin in Vegas? Emerson is so cute, I want to cuddle him!
