extreme makeover: home edition - update

My parents, my brother and I gathered around our TVs yesterday evening (one in KS and one in NY) and watched as a very deserving family in Minnesota received a new home, and the kids in the neighborhood played in their new daycare center.

You probably won't see his name anywhere, but I've been overjoyed to be reminded of my brother's creativity, giving spirit, and kind humor in the special little details of the playroom. (He got to illustrate the playhouse, which opens to more fun things inside; the "international desk" table which pulls apart into separate desks, each with a different flag; the multicultural buildings on the windowshades; and the silhouetted skyline of international monuments that wraps around the room.)

That boy keeps knocking my socks off.

(Which is preferable to shoving his socks in my face.)
