Some Updates....

Cooper is VERY into being a builder of late. His Poppa gave him some tools, as did his Aunt Andrea and Uncle Jon so we have some wherever we go (whether at Bay City or Berkley). Here he is first thing in the morning with a tool belt over his pyjamas, during the evening (with Jamie in the background on the computer!) and also a picture I took when Jamie was working - we were going to visit him at the hospital for dinner and Cooper wanted to wear his builder-man toolbelt, his doctor's pager and his beads! Certainly covering all career options there.... construction worker, radiologist and rock-star!













I had a few issues recently trying to fix a toy bulldozer with some superglue. Jamie thought the moment was very "bloggable"



We are also quite obsessed with trains in out house (well, two of us are!) Here is the latest Thomas the Tank Engine layout (yes it was me who got carried away buying tracks and 'voice recognition' trains for Cranky the Crane to greet by name!).

Currently the collection includes Thomas, Percy and the Red Cabose (from Nonna on Cooper's birthday), Molly & coal tender, Jack the Digger, Bertie Bus and Toby the Tram (from Santa) and the talking James and Edward along with their coal tenders (who mysteriously appeared after a shopping trip to Toys R Us!!)

Lost and Found

Did any of our recent guests loose a navy-blue sweatshirt with a collar and a zip partway down the front? Has a label 'Made in Jordan' and brand-name is 'Champion'.  Let us know via 'comments'! 

Also found are 4 chocolate Santas and a chocolate snowman from Harrods. Snowman has already vanished....  (and he didn't melt when the snow did). I don't think the Santas will keep until next Christmas but I dont want to eat them all myself (for obvious reasons!!).  

Dad's cool candle will wait until the Sydney temperatures are cooler before we post it as the outside actually is real wax and might not fare so well after it leaves Michigan.
