One of these days, I really will get to posting pictures, but not today. Sorry. We do, however, have two extremely happy children. They have spent all morning and part of last night playing with their new (to them) Thomas The Train table and (mostly) matching trains, a generous gift from their Maga and Babu (my parents).
For as long as I can remember, my dad has a deep fascination, appreciation, and yes, love for trains. The year between junior and senior year of high school, we took a family trip around the country on Amtrak. It was the biggest trip we ever took growing up, and we have sweet memories forever. My parents have a collection of different train videos that they watch together, and on occasion, they drive to nearby train stations just to watch the train come in and leave.
It warms their hearts that Logan, even so young, has developed what seems to be the same fascination and love for trains. He loves his Thaa! (Thomas) and shakes with pure excitement when it comes on TV. I have spent several weeks looking at and for train tables for him, but if you know anything about these things, they are not only loads of fun, but a big investment as well. After lots of looking and posting some want ads, we were able to find one that my parents felt was a reasonable price.
Yesterday, we drove to get it, and for most of the trip back, Logan clutched one or two Thaas. It was pure bliss for my sweet little baby.
I am so thankful for parents who love us so much and are so generous with their resources to bless us. To me, it's more than a table, tracks and some trains, it symbolizes love and generosity in a way hard to explain.

How fun! Amy would get the same fascination out of a play kitchen which I hope to get her when she turns two! Jenny has taken her kids to some Thomas place up in PA. Maybe you could go there on vacation some time!
How's your friend that went into labor really early doing?
