Christmas with a kid

Grandparents and babies

Mina meeting Auntie Lindsey for the first time

I wish I had something like this to work my fingers when I was a kid.  I built this latchboard by sanding and painting a wooden board and then attaching a bunch of switches, latches, bolts, key locks etc to it.  Hopefully it will distract them from the real things.

True Blue (red) Minnesotan Baby

Mina feels like a champion in this quilt. It was made by Edna Litwiller and actually belonged to Dan when he was a baby.
