What you've been waiting for.

This is as pink as hair can get.

What I've been waiting for.

Violet and Jem sat and played for at least half an hour together on Friday. Quietly. Sharing. This is big news, and I credit the magical properties of Play-Doh...and I gave them both knives.
In other news:
Jesse, Captain of My Heart, did this to his hair in the name of charity. It's a prelude to being dyed bright pink tomorrow.

Excerpts

Violet, on why she came into our bed in the middle of the night:
"I woke up in the night and felt like I had to barf, but that would wreck my bed, so that's why I came into your bed".

Jem, stopping to chat during a nurse:
"Nurse....boobies....lub you.....lub you, boobies....doo dat....yesssss".
Yes, I think we're all agreed that I've nursed him long enough.

There is only a short window of time where it's funny to find your son playing princess video games naked in his sister's bed.

Welcome

I'm an Auntie! Jesse is an Uncle! Jesse's sister gave birth to an adorable little girl on Friday. Her name is Winter, she's baby perfection, and we plan to spoil her.
