Duxford Day Out

We took a family trip with the Tuckwells and the Grahams to the Royal Air Force Museum in Duxford. It is an amazing museum with loads of history and airplanes. The boys love it (and so do their parents!). Here are a couple of fun pictures from the day. We are very thankful for good friends like these two families to have fun with:

All I want for Thanksgiving is ....

Addie's First Two Syllable Word

Addie has not been the fastest talker in the world, but we think we heard her first two syllable word tonight - not Mama or Dada, but . . .

We'll take that as 'Bible' and ignore all the BaBaBaBah afterwards! :)

Call to mind...

An interaction that occurred today -

Erin: Hi Theo. How are you?
Theo: I'm great.
Erin: What makes you great Theo?
Theo (without missing a beat): Because I get to love you.

Oh Lord, please help me to call this interaction to mind someday when I am cross with him.

The name Theo

Today before pre-school Theo informed me that he didn't want to be called Theo anymore. Assuming he had a 'silly' name picked out instead, I asked him what he would like to be called. He answered: 'Luke'. Such a sensible request for a three-year-old. I told him I liked the name Luke. He then changed his mind and said Theo was okay because there was already a Luke at his pre-schoool.

Yesterday, some friends brought us some 'English biscuits' called flapjacks around to say thanks for a small favour we had done for them.  Jack was walking around the house saying, 'I love flapjacks because they have my name in it.' Then Theo responded by saying he liked his but said, 'I call my flaptheos'.
