Harvey Party!

Some snippets from Minnesota....

A familiar face... Nathan and I are reading click clack moo, click clack moo, clickity clack MOOOOOOO! You can probably guess which line we were on in this shot. He's 2 1/2 now, and I last saw him in December, but WOW, he's not a baby anymore, he's a boy!!!







And here's the new nephew! Ultra super cute. Its nice to actually spend these two weeks of non-holiday time with him - calm and quality time. Now four months, he is all giggles and smiles.

We're hanging out playing Lite Brite - a game way too cool for me when I was a kid, so I'm reclaiming this bitter part of my child hood right now... j/j. I think. Mathew is by far the M.V.P. of this round of gaming... ;p











Since I first wrote this post but couldn't b/c of technical difficulties, we've had wayyyy more fun. Woodbury Days, which is small town festival, the state fair, the zoo... non stop funs!

In less baby related news, I have been productive these days, too. Jennyma likes scrapbooking loads, and we were going to start me on my first real project, but then I sensed it wasn't right for me - bulky books, crafty mind, printed pictures... then we found a cool solution - photo books! So I've started a seemingly formidable projects of making a photobook on snapfish of my year on AI. SOCH FUN! You pick pictures and photo layouts, add captions, quotes, etc, and choose page background and then print it and mail it to you, a nice hardback book. Neat!!! I had told my team about my geeky love of writing annual reports of my life, "Smannual Reports", and I think this is a neat photo compliment. :D

Slightly less nomadic?... Family'mad?

I AM BACK IN THE US! And better yet, starting right off with a Tour de Harvey. :) It is a beginning of a bigger Tour de Hearts. ;p I am visiting many people I hearts, especially my sis and her family here in 'Sota - the Harveys, my gram and auntie in Long Island, TAG FAG folk and parts of the pimppad in AA, hopefully some of my old Canuckistani friends, and finally, literally all the rest of my family in Taiwan. WEEE! For anyone wondering: yes, this IS the plan and what I am doing with my life until the new year when I will be gearing up for career stuffs. Like I shared with my friend Emil down under a while back, when people said: so what are you doing next, at first I said, "nothing", and then I was like: holy poo - friends and family aren't nothing... and your career is most definitely not everything (yes yes - albeit important vis-à-vis your contribution to society - I'm not a total bum. :))

So jes... on to the most exciting part of this "scrap" ;p...

TOUR DE HARVEY!
