The other day Alex woke up from his nap, came out to the living room and sat down. I came over - he was sucking his thumb, and then a grin came on his face & it looked like he had decided that he had a great idea in mind. I said, "hi!" and he pulled his thumb out and said, "take a baf!" - followed by a lot of laughter.

This first set of pictures is from dinner the other night with Sanda, Mike, and Owen at our house, then at Mei Wah (chinese restaurant)...
