Gramps and Grannie Annie came for a too-short visit this past week. They happened to be here during a vocal EXPLOSION! So, the boys started calling Gramps “Baba” and “Babo” depending on their mood at the time.
We put Gramps to work immediately changing door knobs (who on earth installs a knob requiring a KEY for Pete’s sake on an internal bathroom. Sheeesh), fixing broken door jambs, installing dimmers and giving lessons on electricity to Dave.

Gramps even made us some of his famous potato dumpling soup. It is gone already, though.

Grannie Annie and Baba left today at around noon. And after their afternoon nap the boys woke up asking where Baba was and pointing to the guest room. They’ll be back soon, guys!

Our fantastic Nanny, Tamaryn, put up a list of all the boys’ words today. Wow, look at all of them! Of course, some of the words, like radio, require a little imagination to hear. But the boys definitely know what they mean when they say it!
Tamaryn goes in for a little procedure tomorrow, and we wish her well and a speedy recovery! We’ll see you next week!

Now that we are here, getting out and away from the endless boxes… boxes…. BOXES is more important than ever. So, we go to the playground that belongs to the school next door. It was a particularly fall-ish day…

Stay tuned for Halloween photos!
