A Morning At The Ranch

OK, so I admit, I have been far too neglectful of my blog. So, prepare yourself for a mass of pictures and videos to show you some of the things we have been up to the past three weeks.
On June 22nd, Hayden, Elliot and I went out to the horse ranch to visit with Diane. Hayden had not seen the horses in a long while and Elliot had never been out - in fact, he had not even had the opportunity to meet Diane. It was a lovely morning...blue sky, warm sun, green grass, happy horses...just nice. Hayden had fun playing with Katie (the dog) as well as enjoying a few well deserved barn cookies (aka vanilla wafers). Once he woke up, Elliot enjoyed laying down in the grass watching the white puffy clouds go by while Diane and I chatted away.
As you can tell by the below pictures, Hayden is now showing an interest in his brother. He now cuddles him, kisses him, brings diapers and wipes when Elliot needs to be changed, is concerned for where Elliot is and wants to take him to the babysitters. All this is lovely to see. Hayden has never been mean or rude to Elliot...he has just never shown any remote, little interest in him. This change in behavior is lovely to watch - he is a sweet and kind older brother.
