Smiling at the three little ones, he then glanced over to Karen.  "Thanks.  I'll let the nanny know as well.  During the day, Heidi is more often with Miss Anna than me.  They take little 'adventures' around the garden and to the stables, I'll let her know if she feels Heidi is old enough for longer walks, she can come over here to visit you all." 

Heidi was getting older and needing more watching for where she went and what she got into.  Anna was great about it and had enjoyed watching the twins as well.  "Though if she learned how to get here from our place, if you ever see her without Anna or me, let me know.  Missy here has a stubborn thread in there and if she is told no, she will sneak around to do it anyway."  He chuckled.  Likely, she got it from him, but he couldn't say that. 

Sitting down on a sofa near the kids, he put his hat beside him.  "It smells great."  He smiled at her.  "I've been hearing good things about your work with the linens and such.  The maids are liking not having that task on their hands."  He paused and looked down at the babies again.

"I know Mrs. Pearson was thinking about hiring you as well.  With the three boys and her husband all working for me at the stable, there is a lot of washing to do along with what she does for me up at the house.  Though," he chuckled looking over at Karen.  "I believe she is going to make each of her boys carry it over to you and pay from their wages.  To teach them how to start taking care of themselves."
