Brandon loves working on projects with Nini. She came for Jordon's birthday and got to stay a whole a week. Turns out, Brandon is a great painter. He helped us paint some bookshelves and did a very careful job.
It'll be fun to look for the blooms in the spring. Nini should be back for a visit right about the time they are starting to break though, so that should be fun for them to see together.

Jordon is getting pretty good at walking with his little hippo toy. He is so proud of himself when he walks. He'd much rather walk "by himself" with the hippo than walk while holding on to people's hands. I guess he's an independent explorer.
