Welcome to the Island of Sodor!

The Island of Sodor (home of Thomas, for those of you not in the know) has been seeing a lot more action in the Muhs household. This would be due to the fact that we finally moved it out of Owen's room, where it was loved, to the still partially-unfinished finished basement, where it is loved even more. (And yes, we are working on the partially unfinished parts. Really, who would we be if we got any project on our house done is less than a year?) Uncle Jay made this table for Owen and he thinks it's the greatest thing he's ever seen. He looks at it with wonder and says, "It's my Island of Sodor table!!!" There is even a budding, young conductor who often gets in on the action as well. Though this action usually consists of taking trains from the more experienced conductor while he is right in the middle of acting out a very important job on the Island. Owen is actually really good about sharing it with Cameron and Cameron loves putting the trains on the bridge and saying, "Wheee!" when they go down the hill. He has even, on a few rare occasions, let out a "Choo choo!" as his train chugs along the track. We're still working on that though.
