The boy's toys.

I eventually made it home to England after surviving being served a loathsome glass of 2002 Lanson Gold Label Brut on my transatlantic flight, and a tortuous 5 1/2 hour layover in Frankfurt...phew!  It's good to be finally home; familiar faces, places and foods.  
The main purpose for this trip was the celebration of my nephew's first birthday.  Baby Thud has been walking for four months now and those little feet must've been getting tired, so something peddle-powered was just what the boy needed.  And, on the off chance that I was feeling a tad homesick for Napa, Thud provided a smattering of a familiarly distinctive, green and yellow hardware about the courtyard.
Cheers, John Deeres all round!

We are a mean green family.

Have a great time at home, even if you are forced to mow Thud's lawn...

Thud: John Deere-green and yellow family.

Thomas: Thud has a few acres of lawn and I would mow it for him...if only it would dry out.

Oh how lovely. Have a great time over here and I wish Baby Thud a happy birthday. I remember buying miniature versions of those tractors for my boys and we used to have endless fun setting up the farm and having alien craft landing among the sheep.
