-- Breakfast this morning at the corner diner: corned beef hash for me, cornbread pancakes for Matt, toast and grits for HBP. Yum!

-- Thanks to Kayla for wishing us a happy 4th (and, um, for reminding us that it's today)!

-- Hosea can now say duck ("Dut!"), A.J., Dada, hi, and Mama. Oh man, he's cute.

-- He can also climb onto the bed, which adds a whole new dimension of holy-moly to the day. He only knows how to get up, and seems to like getting down via the kamikaze route. Sheesh.

-- He can also stack objects and put them in containers. He can also wave hello, shake his head "no" (which he does *all* the time), sign "more" and "all done" and sometimes "food". He'll walk if you hold one hand, and run if you hold both. Seriously, Scotland peeps, you won't even recognise him.

-- One week!

--I love my family. A lot.

We are, seriously. We've been living at AJ and Rachelle's place right now, which has been so cool. They are an amazing couple. Hosea's big, and cute, and very bratty right now (The screaming phase). I did a month of work at a small animal emergency clinic, which was, well, not very satisfying. The vets and most of the techs were nice, but fairly boring work and one very rude tech made my life relatively miserable. Now I'm chillaxing and doing a couple of days a week at the equine hospital, which I adore.

We go home in less than a month, and I can't wait. To be living our own, normal, Price life in our own flat; to shake the car and walk again; to eat healthy meals and only go out to eat on special occasions or when studying; to know where everything is and should be. To start 4th year!

I'm accompanying Rachelle on a 2 week long trial at Curves. Today was our 1st day and we had a lot of fun! There's a Curves less than 2 miles from our flat in Edinburgh, so maybe I'll make that happen. We'll see.

How's by you all?
