Goings On

We've been so busy lately, just had to make a few notes.

• Cousin visit - My cousin Jane who just got married in Italy came to visit. She and her husband Fabio were WONDERFUL with Toe. My favorite part of their visit was watching Toe play the piano with them.
• Fire House- Yesterday we were walking to the small grocery store in town and as usual, we stopped by the fire house to oggle the fire trucks. Toe had his nose pressed to the glass when a man came and asked us if we needed anything. When I told him that we were just admiring the fire trucks, he invited us inside and showed them to us "up close." We saw the inside of one of the big fire trucks and where the hoses connect. Toe got a little nervous and we ended up leaving, but the man (our local fire chief who was working on a Sunday) gave Toe a Junior Fire Department sticker and hat.
• Trip to the laundromat to wash bedding yesterday was a great adventure with Toe. He loves putting coins in the slots. Thank goodness. The large washer required 20 quarters! We spent the time at the laundromat hanging out with my friend Rhonda.
• Toe, J, and I made vegetable soup this morning a la the Wiggles song "Vegetable Soup." We made a few modifications, but it tasted great. Toe learned how to peel carrots and potatoes and munched every vegetable that we used (including raw onion).
