Q. When your daughter sits down at her "restaurant" and orders "beer please", do you serve her?
A. As long as she has imaginary fake ID, she can have as much imaginary beer as she wants. I mean, she did say please after all.
Q. What are the alternate words to the second verse of 'Amazing Grace'?
A. Turns out that she wasn't making up her own language at all. She was saying "Oh crap... Oh crap... Fuck... Oh crap." Kind of in rhythm. Not so much in tune.

Uncles Rock
Okay, just some gratuitous cuteness of all my kids, including Uncle Andy. If you turn the volume up, you should be able to hear both of them.
This is Talia after I asked her to "give Mummy a pretty smile" so that we could take a picture of her fancy crown. I am starting to wonder if Grandma is prepping her for Toddlers and Tiaras on their Friday dates.
And now and here is my boy in the exersaucer - this is up so that you can see his cute feet. They are even cuter in person.
This is Talia helping Daddy blow out his birthday candles, and then a shot with Nate and Grandpa Johnson included. Talia is quite chatty about blowing out candles now, and often sings "Happy Birthday to meeeeeee" at random times.
This is a video of Talia wearing her new (too big) helmet on Easter morning. She wore it for about 24 straight hours and decided she needed it to hunt for Easter eggs. Do note the ducking down to look low for the last egg. I wish I had kept filming though because at the end she walks over to give her treat to Mummy.
Finally, this is a picture that gave my soul much rest earlier this week. It is a picture of all the best parts of my life these days and reminds me that in the middle of the insanity of trying to parent two young ones, there is a wonderful peace underneath it all that sneaks up on me every once in a while and says "here I am". This week, it was in my backyard.

The Kids
Yep, they're now 'the kids'. Cause we're now a family. I wanted to write a lot about this, but I'm tired and out of steam to say nothing of out of creativity, but here are some pics and videos from the last month or so.
Talia's first pigtails. They are SO cute on her and we'll keep practicing so that it doesn't look like our pet monkey put them in.
Nate hanging in the Bumbo chair. He's not quite up for it, but we'll keep at it. This is his regular serious and thoughtful face, but if you chat with him for a bit he comes up with some pretty great smiles.
This is footage I caught of Talia reading Dolly a story. It was supercute. Usually if she sees the camera, she tries to come look at the pictures I'm taking so I get a lot of footage of her coming towards me to steal the camera. This was fun to see her so involved in her 'job'.
This is a terrible video of Nate playing in his bouncy seat. I will try harder to get better shots of him, but for now, it's a hint of the greatness that is the Natester.
This is T trying out her new "bike". There are several hilarious-to-Mummy-&-Daddy moments including her ongoing use of the word 'sorry' instead of excuse me. And without spoiling the end, how cute is she??? I mean really....
Talia "sharing" her crib with Nate.

I hope to one day soon have time to write down some of my deeper thoughts and thinkings about this time in life. For now we will all have to live with this cheating version of a baby book and hope that I get back to those thoughts again someday.
