Fabulous time today in Sodor. Went to Thomas Land with grandma and grandpa. We only told Mark that we were going to a train park, not Thomas Land. Think his mind was blown by all the fun! Vivi tried her first pouch, so think her mind was also blown!

Mark got a haircut this week.

Hello!

More notes from our philosopher:

“Mommy, probably when you and daddy die, I should go to grandma and grandpa’s house. They have a bed for me there.”

“Well Mark, I hope we don’t die for a very long time.”

“Well Mom, just make sure you drop me off at grandma and grandpa’s house before you die.”

“Also mommy- good thing Vivian won’t die for so many months. That’s lucky.”

He also says we should call him Mr. Pachoobie because he can stand on one foot. Go figure. 

This week Vivi is using the “milk” sign frequently, people have independently confirmed she can wave hello, and she very clearly said her first word, “Ender” several times.   She can crawl backwards, and she is developing a pincer grasp. That’s a lot of development from our two kiddos!

Mark has really been pondering the meaning of life. Here are the questions he asked me in the car today:

Mom, everyone gets dead you know.

When you get dead, how will I find my new family?

What makes people get dead?

What happens to people after they get dead?

If I fall asleep and get dead, how will I know if I am sleeping or awake. Or if I am just waking up. 

Why does everyone have to get dead. 

Ms. Annmarie’s grandma got dead. She’s remembers her as a snowflake on her Christmas tree. When I get dead, I want you to put me somewhere too. 

This was all in the space of five minutes, mind you! He then asked me if he could watch a show when we got home. 

Fundraiser for Mark’s school! We won two of the raffle prizes!











Found a baby online that really looks like Vivi!




Throwback photo!



JoJo’s party! And energy!









Fab dinner that Tom made. 







Throwback photo. Look how pregnant I was! Two days before Vivi was born. Mind you I still went to work the day after this photo. 

Tom met up with his friend Mr. Bu. So mark and I went out to Shake Shack before we picked up Ms Vivi.
