Balloons and Kittens


Edward, Elizabeth and John sent me these nice flowers and balloons (as well as some chocolate!) with their well wishes. It was much appreciated, I am lucky to have such a nice family. Dad and Mindy each came one day to bring me lunch, and of course Chris is just taking great care of me in general. Thanks everyone!


pretty cute, isn't she?

Hidden City - Disston Saw Works








The video installation was cool, but in terms of taking pictures, I was more interested in the old buildings and work space of the sheet metal workers.

Long Beach Island


Chris has the best pictures on his Flickr page, but here are a few more random shots from our wonderful weekend at the beach.


Phoebe figuring out the awesome new car for which one needed an advanced degree in astrophysics to install the batteries.

I wish we could have a slightly better picture, but it only occurred to me half hour before we left that we didn't have a picture of the two of us together!!

Please Touch Museum at Memorial Hall


We had a great time at Memorial Hall last week. Phoebe said it was the best kid's museum they'd been to so far (or at least the biggest). No surprise, Otto went mostly for the car related activities as you can see below. We did get to ride the carousel also, I'm loading the video and it should be up soon. I honestly don't know how any kid leaves that place willingly. As usual Otto's good nature won out and we went on to see Papa's tools at the "other" museum.

Putting air in the tires with Mom.



Riding the wild bunny.




Getting the Scion ready for a trip.


Taking a ride in the race car after...


...changing the tires.


Car wash!



On the moped with Dad.


I know Otto is smart, but it was still cool to see how fast he figured out how to get up on the moped and pretend he was driving!



It's fuzzy, but at least the whole family is pictured!
Otto is "through the looking glass."
