Kaylene, my erstwhile roomate from Dekalb, and her husband John visit from Rockford, IL. John is on the alumni board of Bethel College and comes up here periodically for meetings. This time Kaylene came along with Coleman, their son. He was born three days after Atticus.
Friday we visited the Minneapolis Art Institute Museum. It was the coldest day to that point of our winter -- negative 7 degrees F, windchill 32 below. But it was nice to walk around inside once we thawed out. Poor Coleman (and Kaylene) missed his nap and was not having a happy time of it. Unfortunately this was our only day of visiting because of the difficulty of coordinating naps for the boys and the bitter bitter cold. 
An absolutely beautiful inlaid bureau. I adore the design -- hopefully I can use this for something somewhere or another. 
Paul-Cesar Francois Helleu pastel from 1895...
An Eakins portrait...beautiful work, twisted man...
Fantastic Art Deco Textile...I wish I had this as wallpaper on one wall or carpet in our study...
