Louis at the Wheel

This afternoon Chris and the boys came over. Shelly was at work. It was lovely to see them and we had a great afternoon.  They helped me pick tomatoes from the tomato forest that has developed in the greenhouse. Very handy in picking the "low hanging fruit" of which there is a lot! We (essentially Chris) built an extensive Brio railway and both boys had fun with that. Noah and I also started on a Lego helicopter which he has taken home to make.

Today is Penny and Steve's wedding anniversary and I went over there this evening to babysit Ottilie while Penny & Steve went out to dinner - the first time since Ottilie was born. I was so glad it went well (and Ottilie behaved herself). And even happier when Penny asked if perhaps I could babysit once a month or so as "now we have managed this once we can do it again". Hurray.
