Week Wun in the West

The boys and I are in California right now while Barrett is studying for the bar. Damon is loving being here and so am I:) The second grandpa walks in the room, he's got a little shadow whether he likes it or not. Damon is learning the value of hard work...well, not really, but it makes me think that he's a "problem child that has been sent to live with his grandparents who live on a farm to learn the value of hard work." He's helped my mom pick green beans and tomatoes and likes to pull them in this mini wagon or a bucket. The other night he helped my dad trim the rose bushes...he was responsible for carrying the basket of clippings and picking up the soft petals that fell on the ground. We went and saw some crazy animals off Hwy 59 last Saturday...lots of donkeys, emus, and long horned cattle. Damon found a cute little doll stroller and has been loving pushing it around full of toys. Tommy fell asleep one day sitting in the feeding chair. We've been trying to adjust to being in a home with a yard...so fun! The boys are both sick and Tommy has been pretty miserable. He's not sleeping through the night anymore! He has two little bottom teeth and likes to be held so he can kick his legs. We miss Barrett, but not being stranded or stressed.
