Today is Christopher's birthday! 27!
The past few months he has really stepped up to help me with the moving. Anytime I needed anything heavy moved or dirty cleaning he took care of it.
Since we have moved here he has cleaned out part of the back yard, I'm hoping to grow potatoes there.
Also he has become a very good cook. On the days that I'm too tired to cook Christopher will make something for us. I know I can buy instant food or obento but I really think that homemade meals are a lot better!
Being the youngest boy I think he got left out a lot. Mikey and David are only 2 years apart. There's 4 years between David and Christopher! By the time Christopher came along Mikey and David were already playing together a lot, they had their own little world and it was difficult for Christopher to join in. I remember when David started school, Christopher spent the first few days looking for him, not understanding that he would be back later!
I spent the morning sorting photos. I couldn't find any new born photos. Actually since we've moved there are a lot of things I can't find! I was looking through the photos, telling stories to Christopher and Hannah. Hannah looked at me and said "in 3 years time I'll be the only one who is not over 30!" That freaked me out! I'll be the mother of older adults!!!
Here are some of the photos!

We didn't really celebrate today. But we had cake, sat around talking, reminiscing. Thinking about the future. Christopher is looking for a job, as much as I enjoy having him in the house he does need to make money!!
Hannah is packing up, heading back to her apartment tonight, she has work form tomorrow! She's been raiding my food cupboard!
