Now that Amanda has a year of pottery lessons under her belt, she is branching out and showing Nora some things. Fortunately Nora loves getting her hands dirty.
Future potter?

Playing in the backyard
Amanda and Nora blew bubbles in the backyard this week and Holly spent quite a bit of time trying to understand what was going on. Nora got into our dirty clothes basket later that day and pulled out my Bonnaroo jersey to supplement her supply of “crazy outfits.”

Architects of Air
We took Nora to the “Architects of Air” exhibit at the Long Center this past Friday. It was the last day of the exhibit so even though we arrived at opening time, we ended up in line for over 2 hours. Luckily, there was a little boy named Henry (in red below) in line near us and they played together most of the time. We spent about 20-30 minutes walking around inside while new age electronic music played in the background. All of the light is natural sunlight coming through the walls and it made pictures very difficult. Nora ran all over inside which made it even more tricky. The last couple pics are of the ceilings which had really cool contours and patterns caused by the star shaped pods you see in the first pic.

New look
The crazy outfits are continuing although we had to restrict her to the clothes in her bottom drawer. It was just too difficult to keep track of things when she was pulling outfits out of every drawer. It appears that headbands might be rising in popularity though.

Little Baby Yellow Elephant
Nora has a multitude of “friends” around the house now including a “nocturnal, vegetarian” tiger. In the pic above she is “feeding” her baby and below carrying the elephant around on her shoulders. She also has a little baby girl named “Apple Dumpling” that she takes care of as well. ”Biscuit” is her dog that goes on walks with us. Thankfully Nora brings plastic baggies with because “Biscuit” tends to poop quite a bit on our walks around the block.

Man Bites Dog
Oma Oma is in town for the winter so we picked her up and brought her to lunch on my day off this week. I’m glad we got a chance to introduce her to pickle chips… They sure are tasty.

“One more Saturday night”
With Amanda at work, Nora and I have plenty of time to entertain ourselves. This involves lots of music and a fair amount of dancing around. Apparently it’s more fun with a bucket on your head.

Christmas decorations
Nana helped Nora make this Christmas tree for her door last time she visited. It has everybody’s names on it and Nora is quite proud of her role in constructing it.
