My brother Chris came to visit us in January.  He is a favorite at this house and the kids were super-excited to see him.  He helped us set up for the birthday party, put in insulation in the basement with Mr. Brown, job searched from our sofa and did a lot of dishes.

Also we went to the auto show downtown.  After Chicago, Detroit looked pretty dead (it was my first time downtown too) but the auto show was pretty fun and we got a free photo taken with some Chrysler product (I think).  The kids got tired of walking around and the cars all started to look alike after awhile, but Chris and I admired the presentation and marketing strategies in place, and we got to take a ride in an electric car in the basement of the Cobo Center, so altogether, a nice excursion.
