photos of the little ones









Here are some recent photos of the babies. Aren't they beautiful? In the photo Aubrey is pointing. If you could listen to the photo, you would hear her saying "dat?" as in "what's that?". It is interesting to compare her very demanding curiosity to Quinn's, who is curious, but more willing to wait and soak it up as it comes.

atomic energy


Matt was probably wondering why I was asking about pro tron and neutrons and atoms during teeth brushing last night, we moved on and I never got to explain why I had asked. (Matt is the repository of all information that I am not..math, science, political history, geography..I could go on, but it would just further highlight my deficiencies so I'll stop there.) The reason behind the questions was Walter. I am searching for the appropriate analogy for his boundless energy. About 2 years ago I noticed a serious ramp up in his energy levels...but over the summer it reached a new frenzy and is now at, what I really pray is the high point. Walter is like a neutron ..constantly, moving, constantly...I don't know where he finds the energy..In the midst of this new energy high, Walter has taken to literally climbing the walls. Grammy Sheila caught him on film, so I'll add the photo.


Don't think because I've been ranting and writing about my own kids that I have been neglecting my sweets..Aubrey and Quinn-Quinn. I usually call Aubrey "Aubs" and Quuinn, Quinn-Quinn, I don't know why, I've just fallen into the habit. I regret to write that Quinn is quickly growing out of his baby body. He is looking more and more like a toddler every day. They are both lightening fast and pulling up, but Aubrey still has more of tiny, baby look. Quinn also has a full mouth of teeth to compliment his toddler look. I'll try to get Christie to post soon, but these babies are keeping her pretty swamped these days.
