Visiting Gabe, Simon, Margot, and Steve

Last weekend we went to visit my sister's family. Among the activities, we went to Knoebles:

Ikea Trip

I went on a field trip to Ikea with my sister.  So, on to New Haven we go:

Margot picking out some wrapping paper and post cards

Margot again sidetracked by kids toys, aren't we here for furniture?

Oh yes, something from the "Billy" collection. Margot is consulting with her husband to make sure the darn thing will fit in their dining room.

As for me, I only bought some clearanced Christmas lights for 59 cents and reusable shopping bags, no big ticket items for me today!

My sister, Margot, and her family recently visited from Pennsylvania. Here are a few photos from their visit:

It’s no knife, and it’s no fork

The KnorkSince about 3 or 4 years ago, the family has moved to picking one sibling that another sibling has to by gifts for. This year, my sister had the charge of finding something for me. She purchased some cool and funky looking christmas lights and some Simpsons ornaments. To top it all off, she also purchased me a KNORK as referenced in a previous blog entry.  I can't wait to try it when I get home.

Fred!
