If you’ve ever been to an Ikea you know that nearly all of their stuff needs to be assembled. Most of the items come with a little z-shaped allen wrench or a little bottle opener thingy. With those tools you can build a bookshelf, chair or small home–whatever you bought. Occasionally an item will need more complex tools like a hammer or small saw. In those cases the necessary tools are stocked right next the item for those who don’t own a hammer or bread knife. While shopping for some new file cabinets I was a little overwhelmed at the thought of assembling them myself. Next to the file cabinets they offered a small tool called the HARRYTT. I splurged. She was the perfect Ikea assembler.

Win heard that bed head was a trendy hairstyle. I tried to explain to him that it’s really kind of a late ’90s thing but he wanted to try it anyway. He went all out for the sake of fashion.

…ya just gotta get some work done.

Harriet has been accessorizing a lot lately.  She has 2 strands of beads that she wears almost all of the time now.  She also really likes trying to put on shoes, although she is never successful.  Here she is with her purple beads and Win’s sneaker.  I’ll have to work with her a little to learn that accessorizing is meant to accompany clothing.

We’re alive and home. We had a fabulous time at The Cabin. I’ve been busy catching up on other things since. Here are some pics from our trip. It really is my favorite place in the world. We began by going to Fort Wayne’s Johnny Appleseed Festival with my parents. At The Cabin Win ran around naked most of the time eating carrots and generally exploring. It was warm enough to swim. We had an amazing time, as always when we’re there.

We celebrated Harriet’s first birthday while we were there. Every time strangers comment on Harriet they mention her amazing eyes. Can you tell why?! She is such a beauty, even at 1-year-old.

We’re spending an awesome week at the cabin. Weather has been perfect, we spent two hours tonight swimming in the lake an celebrated Hatties birthday with a puppy-dog ice cream cake from a DQ. More pictures when we’re back in civilization.
