Ok, I've gotten no further on the Christmas cards. Forgive me. You weren't actually waiting for one, were you?

We took the kids to the Build-A-Bear store today. They had gotten gift certificates for Christmas and Martin wanted to go before auditions got crazy again. It was fun. Em picked out a leopard and Isaac got a golden retriever. They both picked out skateboards and safety gear for their animals. We made a simple bear for Audrey and appropriately named him "Chewy." Spotty the leopard has taken on life and his own personality in his few hours of life. Walkie the dog hasn't been quite as active but I'm certain he'll catch up.

Many of you have been asking about photos, so I'll try to get some up in the next day or two. Until then, go here.
