The above is what happens when you leave your unfinished posts open. Finn decides to post them for you.

Thanks, Rebecca (check out her new blog), for providing our Toy Story buddies a new home. Emperor Zurg thanks you especially.

Even Evil Emperors need time out from terrorizing the galaxies to take a potty break.

Little known secret about me: I like playing with doll houses.

I've been a negligent blogger lately. Here are some representative pictures of the last few weeks.

Rosemary loves this snowman. "Kiss snowman!"

A Santa's Sleigh full of Christmas Pictures.
You've been warned.

Our Xmas eve feast.

The minions hard at work on the gingerbread houses.


We made reindeer food. We also put out cookies and milk, but in all the Xmas-eve excitement, I didn't take a snapshot. Picture, if you will, a plate with cookies on it.

We threw the reindeer food all over the lawn. It was sparkly so that Santa knew where to park his sleigh. And now all the birds in town know where to have a tasty and colourful meal.



In our hood, someone puts up an inflatable Elmo every year. The first year, it was cute. I'm getting a little tired now of going to visit Christmas Elmo.

Santa, as promised, visited Finn and Rosemary, and they had a blast working their way through all the gifts.
Thank you, Aunt Christy and Uncle Evan, for the doll sling, CD, and book! We'll get some pictures soon of the doll sling in action.
Rosemary loves Buzz Lightyear. Move over Elmo, there's a new space ranger in town.

"BUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!"


"Look! CANDY CANES!"
Thanks, Dawn, for the giant kitty!

"More presents!" He's an addict after only three minutes.
Thank you, Dawn and Grandma Pat, for the Elmo Playdough toy. You both probably don't realise it, but it was so thoughtful to send the same gift. No fighting over that present! Whew.


Happy New Year!

The cookies are decorated. Finn is mighty good at the sprinkle duty.
The stockings are hung.

The elf has made it all the way to the 24th. Thank god.
I'd say we're ready for Santa and his big, red bag of chaos.

"Heehee! We're at Daddy's work!"


"I love Christmas, Finn."
"Rosemary, do you think we'll get back to the rooms with all the computers?




Merry Christmas!

The Leites lately.
We haven't been blogging, but we're having a lot of fun even if it's not being documented electronically. Leites lately are lazy lately, I guess.

Seriously, tobogganing is a lot of fun.



These two figures are Rosie's best pals these days. Well, best pals second only to me, of course.
She has declared me her BFF, and I get hourly kisses and hugs as proof.
