Knees and Ears

 UNCLE DAVE!!!
First thing this morning we got online hoping to catch you before your big move but you were already gone.  Very sad to see your skype name NOT online.  We hope you had a great move and that your internet gets hooked up sooner rather than later.
 Daddy update.  
Sunday he couldn't even move, Monday he was up a few times on two crutches, Tuesday he was hobbling around out of boredom on one crutch, and by Wednesday he was ready to head back to work.  I think it was a little premature and that in combination with the LONG days was definitely taxing and by Thursday night he was exhausted and ready for the weekend, yet he still pursued and went in on Friday too.

BUT... on Friday there was a staff party and goodnaturedly he hobbled there and blopped himself down in a chair in the middle of the garden.  It was a Posh/Bohemian party with a golf game set up in the immense garden.  You know, one of those parties.  Very fun!!  Until... Carl got HIT IN THE EAR BY A STRAY GOLF BALL!!!  I mean honestly, talk about hitting a guy when he is down.  Thankfully he was chatting with out town Doc and she superglued him right up.  

He is handling it all very well and is in very good spirits this morning.

 Meanwhile my work-mate was gone for 2 weeks in Dar for a Christmas Fair but came back for Thursday.  So Theo spent a lot of time with Moses as I have been building a playground out of used tires.  We are both having a blast.  Theo loves to do what Moses does.  Pics to come of the playground but so far it has just been a lot of garden cleaning.

Bibi has arrived!!!  Theo loves her and could say her name just a few minutes after he met her.  He showed her all of our Christmas decor and he cuddled right up and had her read book after book.  Obviously Amy is over-the-moon happy too.

And here is Kaia.  Busted!!!
I was cooking dinner and could hear some rustling around the tree so I grabbed the camera and snuck around the corner.  She had been collecting the popcorn in this little pink box and then dragging Theo into the guest room, hiding behind the bed, and eating it with him!!  This is TOTALLY her guilty face!!

The popcorn is getting pretty stale so this problem is solving itself.

  1. Talked to Carl on Face time and Skype this morning so was given the details of his mishaps.
    So nice to see Amy's mother and have Theo cuddle up to her and listen to the stories she read.
    Cold here,sunny and not a bit of snow.There were a few puddles frozen over and the downtown skating rink is being prepared but may be another week before it can be used....providing it remains cold and does not rain.
