Some new clothes and a great supper- Juner.

We want to apologize for the lack of posts lately. The cord for our laptop started smoking, so it's out of commission until the new cord comes. Plus, our current desktop is beyond ancient and doesn't even have a USB port. So we're at the mercy of papa's laptop computer, which has been working late all week.

We're having fun busting out some new summer clothes now that Spring has sprung.
Auntie Queen got me this shirt. It had a $38 dollar price tag on it. But we know she loves us $38 worth, but also loves us enough to not spend $38 on a shirt.

We also wanted to give some attention to the awesome sweater that Aunt Jenni made me for my birthday. Luckily it's still a little big so it will be perfect for this fall.

I must be growing up a little, because Henry has let me into his special closed off area to play with his toys. I really like watching the train drive around, but after about 3 minutes I try to catch it and he kicks me out.

Mama has also had a big week. She came across an Amazon gift certificate and promptly order what she calls the "last thing she needed before her kitchen was complete." She also said this about the oil mister and the mortar and pestle. But now she has declared her life full because she now owns her own Ronco food injector set. She was stoked about the solid food injector and stuffed our turkey breast with garlic cloves and feta cheese.

Then she got out the liquid injector and shot up the turkey with her Uncle Jim's special turkey marinade. Lucky for her, since she was only cooking a breast, that meant she got to drink the other half of the beer! That sounds like a good start to an afternoon. We all declared the injectors a great success when we had the tastiest, juiciest meat for supper. Even Henry tried a bite before he decided to not eat anything else for supper. And that's saying a lot.

In Henry news, if you thought Henry talked non-stop before, he's somehow managed to step it up a notch in the past week. (This may or may not have something to do with the fact that it is spring break and there was no preschool.)
Despite the fact that he's been driving mama to the point of insanity, he has managed to say a few funny things. First, he's become quite the backseat driver. He tells us when the lights turn green, or when they are red, so we have to stop. He's also started chiding mama on her speed on Silas Creek Parkway. And let's face it, mama's already a pretty slow driver. Our favorite comment though, came after mama turned left and Henry informed her that she was a "whoa-ey" driver. Meaning, every time she turns Henry has to hold on and yell "Whoa!" Mama felt pretty bad about her driving skills until Henry also informed papa that he was a "whoa-ey" driver too.
Henry's also getting the knack for setting up his Hot Wheels stunt sets. He launched several cars and told everyone that he was going to do more "dangerouser."
