Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  January 2nd was an interesting day for me.  After almost 3 weeks of vacation, Charlie headed back to work leaving me to get back into the swing of things with Ben and James.  Luckily, Leigh and William invited us to Fernbank.

What used to be a 15 minute drive took us about 35 minutes (ooops, I think I drove a little fast because GPS said it should take me 50).  Since we arrived a little early I called Elizabeth to check on her and the status of Baby Katherine and the on-goings of their house renovation.  She was home and invited me an the boys to stop by.  WOW is all I can say about the renovation.  IT IS BEAUTIFUL!  Can't wait to see the finished product AND meet Baby Katherine!

Fernbank was busy busy!  Lots of kids enjoying the exhibits.  The featured rotating exhibit was Ghenghis Khan.  The boys rushed us through it but what I saw of it was pretty neat.  They had a yurt set up (Charlie may actually be able to talk me in to one of these one day).  James came upon a life-size wax figure of Ghenghis Khan. He said "Is that Jesus?"  I tried to explain Ghenghis Khan to him, but I'm pretty sure my explanation was lost on a three year old.

Our last stop at Fernbank was riding the Santa-Saurus-express!  The boys really enjoyed it!
