Quick trip to Albany

Last week we went overnight to Albany to see cousin Benjamin's progress. That's Nathan holding Benjamin in the last photo. What a doll!

I find myself recording here more of what Thomas says as he is quite a bit clearer but Nathan cracks me up with the things he comes out with too. I have to usually ask him to repeat several times which doesn't seem to bug him, thankfully. Last night the dogs were barking up a storm and he started yelling to me that Doodle had bad breath! Them just before bed he was telling us that we should go on a picnic today. Picnic is not a common word with us yet so I was happy to hear him use it in his speech. Nathan almost sounds like he has a NY city accent, it's cute.

Thomas called me sweetheart a few days back! Took me for surprise.

We have a new routine this week. Matt has been going in early to work (6:30) and the three lazy bums sleep in a bit and get downstairs around 8ish. Then after toast and bottles we've been doing an hour of gardening. Please don't come at that time...you'll catch us outside in our pajamas! Hey when you live this far off the road, there are few benefits like running around outside in your jamies. We are working at turning over a vegetable garden.
