Order has been restored...

We headed home this weekend to spend some time with the fam...which of course was dominated by cuteness from one Mr. Finnegan. I love that he is saying "What are you talking about Greta...", that he quickly learned that Thailand chocolates are called "Twinkles," and that this conversation actually happened:

Finn: Saying a bunch of stuff that Nate can't quite decipher
Nate: (silence)
Finn: "Why aren't you saying anything Nate?"
Nate: "What do you want me to say?"
Finn: (puzzled silence followed by extreme concentration) "Why don't you say something like a cow."
Nate: Mooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hilarious.

Also on the docket for the weekend was bringing Lucy back to the great state of MN. Now Mom and Dad swear that she didn't do any death growling the entire month she was in Viroqua.

But sure as the sun rises every morning...there was Lucy at the side of our bed death growling in the middle of the night. This time with force. Like--hey you who abondoned me for a month, you are really going to get it now.. And so it goes that Lucy has taken back control of the house, and restored order to who is the boss. Nate and I don't have to argue about that anymore because Lucy cleared that up pretty quick last night.

P.S. Totally unrelated but important, I haven't forgotten about all of you chicken recipe inquirers. I'll post it soon!

Theres that book the bridges of madison county. There is also a lesser known book found only on a dusty shelf somewhere in the Viroqua library The Cat Whisperers of Vernon County. The book is chock full of sage like advice from Reid and Nancy, the original Vernon county whisperers. Now legend has it they made other books about whispering to animals such as deer, turkey, pheasant, squirrels, and bunnies. Nancy would whisper them in and Reid would shoot them, so nobody really knows how that research went...
