Shaky Premise

We went to Dayton on Saturday for a day in the park with my Mom, sisters, brothers-in-law and nephews. Nephews #2 and #3 are both about 2 and a half now, so they can go from sparkling clean to filthy as a Turkish prison in about 3 seconds flat. I was really amazed by just how dirty they were by the time we left. They were wet and muddy from playing in a water fountain, covered in mulch chips and their hands looked like they just laid tar. Of course, they were still absolutely adorable. Nephews #5 and #6 (who are both around 4 months old now) were also there and looking around like this was all news to them. Babies that age are cute but in a different way than the toddlers. The babies are very sweet, but, unlike the toddlers, they don't know how to say "fart" yet. Which is good and bad, really.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

The age of nephews #2 and #3 is a great age!! Emma Helen turned 3 yesterday and it is so much fun but at the same time, infuriating! :) Most of the time very fun, though, because everything is so new to them and they are really talking well...we will be singing in the car and she will say, "stop that, mommy." I know I don't sing well, but really! :)

Maybe she feels like your talents are wasted on singing in a car...I bet she thinks you should be on stage at the Met :)
