a few photos
Looking through some old photos, I found a few interesting ones.
First, people are always asking me how I get things done. The answer is that whenever I am writing you back, there is usually someone in front of and behind me. This photo also shows that my life is a terrible mess.

The girls are always talking about the day that we took our picture in front of the train. I found said picture in my mom's camera today. This photo is from about a year ago. The girls look so small. The other kids are my sister's kids, Brittney and Shiny.

This photo is from July 4th of this year. The girls look so mature for nearly three. Sometimes I see kids who are nearly three and they still kinda look like baby animals. But, here, Anya's face expresses an odd level of maturity.

Check out the patriotic bears. If you know me, these will make you laugh. I am not a big patriotic. But Rachel got these bears at a July 4th party and loves her "star bears."

I love seeing into your world. Especially since I listen to the podcast and have been a blog-friend for so long. I also find it comforting to see that other creative families raising kids in urban digs pile things up the walls the same way we do!
It's amazing, too, speaking of the "maturity" of 3 year olds is that it's right about now that you can start having real conversations with your kids. I remember that my friendship with my son really amped up at about 3.
Each age is so exciting and just keeps getting richer and more lovely as they grow.
