Congratulations, and I am so happy he's nursing like a champ--he's adorable! I hope you guys are feeling better soon--we got hit with the snot-and-cough train a couple of weeks ago and it was no fun. I can't even imagine with a new baby. I can't wait to hear about the chickens :) I can’t believe I’ve had my head so far up my butt that I missed Henry’s arrival!

Time with Thomas is always good as we can build big lego towers , Yellow for Thomas and the other colors for me, take out the wood trains and play with them and we can go to the park or teach Thomas to peddle the trike. Mac and cheese from a box, add peas, some green onion and some Cajun Seasoning and parmesan cheese , its good hot or cold. Working on some rasied beds for vegtables in our yard now if we could only figure out how to keep the cars from digging in the beds, Well I just keep showing of the pictures of those two little boys of yours and be the proud grandpa. I now have two budding railfans to ride PAPA Dave's Red Train All our love to you Jeff and those boys Holding babys seems to be my calling, Gina you used to rest on my chest and we would watch Monday night football when you just as little as Henry.

Unfortunately, I did too much cleaning, etc. and not enough holding and gazing at you and Tony and Sara. You can always clean and do all that other stuff, but your boys are only going to be this age once, so enjoy it. You and Jeff are doing a fantastic job with those two little boys. Besides, I think macaroni and cheese from a box is one of the greatest things ever created! Just add some peas to it, and some applesauce on the side, and it is a perfect meal. After all, you guys survived quite well on it, (with some bean burritoes and homemade apple pie sometimes for variety). I just wish I could grow a garden like you. Anybody out there know how to keep cats out of a garden? My neighbor's cat digs and digs every night. Makes a mess of everything I plant. I have tried coffee grounds and hot pepper. Didn't work. I have read that hell will be whatever a person hates or is scared of the most. I guess for me it will be filled with okra (yuck) and I will be roaming around aimlessly (since I have a fear of getting lost) However, I hope to be going in the other direction!
