Christmas!

Okay, so blog updating has not been my strong point lately, but hey, these things happen. The Heemstra family enjoyed a fun Christmas, complete with our biannual 1000 mile car trip from Boston to Chicago to see John's family. Nicky shook the whole way, and Evan stared at him with curiosity in between playing with toys. We then flew to Phoenix to see my family and Evan was once again a real trooper for a long travel day. We enjoyed a nice break from the job hunt, and Evan got to spend lots of good time with his Grandparents.


In the last month, Evan has also picked up a new hobby - sweeping the house. He's very much into emulating everything that we do, which leaves me a bit bewildered as to how he learned how to use a broom and dustpan. He is a bit dangerous with the real broom (think clearing off a table top in one fell swoop) so we had to find him a more Evan-sized version. As you can see, it also doubles as a very nice pony.
