My sister is here this weekend for a short visit.  On Friday I picked her up from the airport and she and I went to the “So You Think You Can Dance” live show at the Rose Garden.  We had a great time, although we both agreed that it was way past our bedtimes when we returned home after 11 pm.

On Saturday Amy and I hit a few holiday bazaars while Tim and Lex played together at home.  Then we drove to Salem that evening and had dinner with Aunt Winnie.

“Hurricane Lex” hit the manor by storm this visit.  He was pretty good in the dining room, but man, that kid has some energy.  After dinner he ran down Aunt Winnie’s hallway about fifteen times in a row, jumping and laughing.  He was drawn by the red fire alarm on the wall (which unfortunately was low enough for him to reach) and attempted to pull it several times.  And then after he tipped over the lamp in Aunt Winnie’s room, he tried to play with all of the breakable keepsakes sitting out on her tables.  Her place is definitely not toddler-proof, but we managed to stay one step ahead of him for most of the visit.

Awww…he appears so innocent.
