So we've been doing some traveling...as this season brings to a 2-year-old many new friends and experiences.  I always say of Axel that "every day is a new day" and truly it is when your eyes are brand new to the world.  

In the last couple of weeks we've met "THE REAL" Curious George in his live stage show, and been introduced to "THE REAL" Santa on Main Street, Hudson, Wisconsin (pulled by his horse named "Lilly"...seriously, could they have re-named her something magical just for one night).  None the less, that's what my Holiday Season is shaping up to, meeting and greeting!

Because the shop is at a steady hum, I haven't had a chance to blog anything philosophical...not that you all expect that...but I have been working on a few of the world's problems in the wee hours (like all mothers do when nerves keep them awake).  Not ready yet to share my solutions to the Mankato State University's Nursing Program, the global economic crisis or how better to sand/salt Minnesota roads...I'll just share a few pics of our recent fun.
