Matt, Stacey, and Ben Uhrig

People often ask what our favorite toys were growing up! Well, among many things - I loved a Lite Brite! I loved making beautiful pictures with all the colors of the rainbow.

When I asked Matt whether or not he had a Lite Brite his response was - "Yeah, sure - but by the time it made it to me and Chris I'm pretty sure all of the pieces were missing!".

Well, Friday Ben and I hit the VNA Rummage sale. Guess what we found? We bought a Lite Brite - $3! Can't beat it!

Wednesday night Tara and Ben made home made pasta! For those of you who are not aware, our sitter Tara (of almost 2 years) who has made our lives so much easier and allows me to work 3 days / week is moving in with us in May. In addition to Tara moving in - she is bringing with her a pasta maker!

So - this week Tara and Ben made pasta (twice!)! I love to cook but have never attempted fresh homemeade Pasta. Not only did she make it look easy and fun - but it tasted great! Ben had a great time!


PS - she brought a waffle maker too! Banana Walnut Waffles anyone?!?!

Since Ben was young, he has had an intense attraction to all things buddha. If he sees a statue of a buddha - he gets very sentimental and will talk to it and many times hug it! We have a number of books on buddhism in the house. Specifically a book called Meditation in Action. On a number of occassions, Ben has brought this book to me and has asked me to read it to him. Note, there are no pictures - just lots o' words! This Saturday morning was no exception....

YYup - the art work is Ben's! Whenever a friend comes over if they do a project - we've been adding it to the wall. The frames are actually cabinets that hold up to 50 pieces of art...from Lil Da Vince Frames. Super cool concept!

Imagine That!
