Week 64: Reunion

This week we had a wonderful reunion of my nuclear family, as Opa and Uncle Jared came to spend a few days in Madison.  It does feel like a funny turn of events that here, Papa Bear and I are the ones with the house and the car, after so many years of being car-less apartment dwellers.  Opa even borrowed our car a few times.  Fortunately, he was responsible with it and always had it back by the agreed upon time.

Lemon got to do many of his favorite things with his doting relatives--reading

showing off his belly

swinging

having his staff keep tabs on his fantasy football roster

and bouncing with Opa.

Amidst all this excitement, Lemon is continuing to work hard on learning to talk, and his vocabulary now includes the phrase "all done," as well as preferred individual words "hi, bye, up, down, socks, shoes, thanks, please, more" and, of course, "no."  No sounds kind of like "naaay" which is, incidentally, what the horse says.  And the cow, and the sheep, and the truck.  We're still working on that one.
