Mi-hee and Mel -  This post is for you two, who I KNOW will throw my santa squirrel attachment away if I emailed him to you!   This little guy was doing some sunbathing in our neighbor's backyard and we decided to give him some holiday cheer!  Have tons of fun on NYE!  :)   Merry xmas and happy new year!

The Man and his Marlboro = My favorite picture from China

We happened to be stuck in some pretty horrific traffic in China when we noticed this man creating his own lane by the sidewalk.  Look very carefully at what the man is doing while delivering some gas tanks.... 

baby shower!

My friend had the most beautiful cakes at her baby shower.  Here are three of em': 

The animal cake was made entirely out of scratch by laurence's friend. The palm tree was made out of a pretzel.  

And then this was some kind of french cake:  All the little puffs had custard in the crunchy center and the core of this cake was nougat.

The third one was a pretty diaper/baby accessory *cake* which was extremely creative.  I'm still trying to find where laurence's friend bought this.
