Something that may amuse everyone: When we go to our local Mexican restaurant Audrey thinks one of the waiters is her daddy. Of course that is only if his back is to us. But I just thought you may like to know that. Food for thought - in many ways. The picture above was taken just before bedtime. The kids love for their daddy to play Jungo on the computer. He has much more patience than I do to deal with squirmy, wormy kids.

Both kids are getting so big. I just can't believe it. In fact, in just a short time Audrey will turn 2 and Alex 4. Alex weighs almost 40lbs now. It seems that as soon as he had his tonsils removed he started gaining weight. He is a silly boy. I love to just sit and listen to him play. He is most content to play with the cheapest of toys. For example, today he played with a turtle ($1), a lizard (1 of 10 in a $1 pack), and a shoestring that he pulled from one of his boots. I don't know why I continue to buy other things for him. Of course, in contrast, Audrey is most content to take what Alex is playing with. You may not think that someone so cute would be so bent toward evil but it is true. It bothers me that I find it funny. That is until Alex starts yelling. She just takes the stuff, makes sure that she has an audience, and then begins to run. All the while smiling.

Alex has started to say funny thing too. He just looked at me today and started shaking his head and laughing. I asked him what was up. He just said, "Crazy! That's just crazy!" He tells me all sorts of stories about lizards and their children. He has also been asking when we will have more children. He thinks we should go to where we got Audrey and get another one. I am not sure he is the genius I thought him to be.

Audrey is talking all the time. Full sentences. It amazes me. Today she said, "Mommy, what was that? What happened?" She always asks for her "mink" (drink) and says please and thank you. She is quite the polite little lady. The other day we were in the store and had to walk in front of some people. She looked up and said, "Excuse me," and went about her business.

Both kids are a ton of fun. There isn't a day that goes by that we aren't laughing, wrestling, or both. Some days are easier than others but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
