We have so much to post from March! Henry's interest in anything with wheels and a motor has led to a fascination with the "Trash Truck." He even has a toy garbage truck. While we watched Tangled together, Henry grew tired of the "girl show" as he calls it and climbed up, put his face in mine, and said "Trash truck...where's it?" He's all boy. Jefferson loves following his big brother around the house. He is starting to walk now-right before his first birthday.
As Bobby began draining the reflecting pond in our back yard, he made a discovery (to the delight of Henry)--a 9 inch goldfish living at the bottom under the moss (he buries himself at the bottom to make it through the winter). It was a windy day when we tried to take the picture, but you can still see his dark orange scales. The pond had been frozen with thick ice when we moved in and we didn't think anything could be living in it but the water has turned out to be a gathering place for toads as well as a home to water snails. Henry could not be happier!
The best part about our house though is that the new Kansas City Temple is being built right behind our neighborhood. We did not know the site was so close until we got back to Missouri and dropped our belongings in a storage unit--long after negotiating the deal on the house. Here are a couple photos. The exterior is nearing completion. Once the spires went up, we were able to see them from our windows upstairs. The angel went on just last week.
This is the view from our neighborhood exit...Bobby drives past the temple everyday on his way to work. Such a great location!
Henry and Jefferson's eating habits differ just as much as their looks...Henry takes small bites, eats little, and does not like different foods touching. He thinks Jefferson is gross. Jefferson two-hands everything, eats Henry's leftovers and if that's not enough, he will even try to eat the plate!
