The Famous Christmas Story House

While celebrating Gramma Ruth's life in Cleveland Memorial Day Weekend, we paid a visit to the Christmas Story House! It is the actual house that was used in the famous movie we all grew up watching year after year! I highly recommend it to everyone, it was so fun and surreal walking through it, you felt just as if you were in the movie! Charlie and his cousins had a blast, especially sitting under the famous sink where Ralphie's little brother Randy sat in the movie, and the yucky red soap that poor Ralphie had to have his mouth washed out with!(They even sell the actual soap!)
And STILL no word on the baby matches for this month. Due to the terrible earthquake that destroyed a large portion of China last month, the Chinese Gov't had stopped working on adoptions for a few days and part of their staff are still gone helping....although it's hard to wait to find out how far they got on matches, it's no comparison to the tragedy that all those poor people are suffering...so we can handle waiting.....
