Well, I guess if your kid has to be naked outside for a while, it’s nice that he has found a way to strategically cover up all those “bits and bobs"

I asked his favorite thing about his son, and he replied: “That he’s very loving.” Hearing this, the boy asked:
“What about basketball?”
The dad answered: “I like that you’re good at basketball. But my favorite thing is that you’re very loving.”



As seen on one of my favorite blogs:

A snapshot of playtime with two one year old boys:
First they fight over the Cheerios.
Then they give each other kisses.
Which gives way to hitting each other.
Followed by a synchronized swaying dance.
And then they run off in opposite directions to play by themselves.

Turns out this guy is in the 95th percentile for height. Not even surprised in the slightest!

I realize that it is highly unlikely that this child will always sleep with his butt up in the air like this, but I hope it lasts for a while. It’s just so darned cute!

Here’s one more new phrase for you:



HOLE IN THE WALL
Context: “I’ve got to run to the hole in the wall"
Definition: An ATM cash machine
Example: “You need to pull out some cash? No problem, there’s a hole in the wall just down the street."

My mom and Granny flew into Belgium from Australia today. I do not get to see them until next week when G and I head back over to the “mainland" for Thanksgiving.  



Welcome to Europe, Granny and GG!  Can’t wait to see you!

Kings Cross Station



Pretty, isn’t it? I am officially on my way to Brussels to see my brother and his family. I am so thankful to be close to them and be able to visit so easily.

The Lake District



Today Glenn and I traveled up to the Lake District, which is in the northwest section of England, relatively close to the Scottish border. We had planned on only spending the day here, but soon after arriving we realized that it is way too beautiful with way to many things to do and see for us to stay for just one day. So we booked a room at a little bed and breakfast…or so we thought. In reality we’ve booked a room in someone’s home, and they make us breakfast in the morning. Honestly, we couldn’t be happier. The man who owns the place is extremely kind and from the beginning has treated us like we’re old friends. We’ve received the rundown on the whole area and, in particular, are well versed on which pubs in town are food and which aren’t (extremely important in his book).



All in all, it’s been a great day, and tomorrow will be too. I’ll post photos soon but in the meantime will just leave you with this one. We took this during the hike we went on this afternoon.



Finally I’ll leave you with a few interesting facts about the area:
- this is where Beatrix Potter lived once she started selling her books. She bought a large piece of land with the proceeds of her books. You can see why she was so inspired!
- William Wordworth was born, raised and buried here. He believed it was the most beautiful place on earth (according to a plaque next to his grave)
- this is where Elizabeth Bennett was supposed to go with her aunt and uncle. Fortunately her plans changed or else the book would have been a bit anticlimactic.
- in addition to it’s amazing scenery, you can find some pretty cool remains left by the romans and the Vikings. There are also several mysterious stone circles (similar but smaller than Stonehenge)
- most importantly, this place has the best gingerbread I’ve ever tasted. Seriously- it’s amazing.



Alright, enough with the history. We’re off to a late dinner at a place that was on one of Gordon Ramsey’s shows. Hope it lives up to it’s reputation!
