Well, here we are and nearly three months have passed since I last posted! We have experienced some colds/allergies in the past few months (Maeryn poses here on the couch - this is what we do when we're sick), we have enjoyed visiting with Jessica, Daphne, and Naomi from Washington (once in February and once in April), and Brandon, Amy, and Benjamin, also from Washington. We have enjoyed nice weather, and then the return of bad weather before Spring could truly begin.
It seems I have spent nearly every spare minute reading throughout March and April. I have been on a reading rampage! With one great book after another I just couldn't get enough! Since I last posted I have read Austenland by Shannon Hale, The Goose Girl also by Shannon Hale, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel, and These Is My Words by Nancy E. Turner. They were all great books, and all quick reads as well. Now I'm back to the classics, reading Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. It's going to take me a while to finish this one, but so far I am thoroughly enjoying it.
The bubs have been talking up a storm. They repeat everything I say and are eager to learn new things. They've got all of their shapes, colors, and animals/animal sounds down. We're working on their numbers and letters, and they have started surprising me with a few multi-syllabic phrases. If they can't see each other at any given moment, you will hear strings of, "Where are you? Where is she?" over and over around the house or wherever they are. Afton can be a bit bossy, so when she loses sight of Maeryn you'll hear "Maeryn! Where are you? Come back here! Right now!" It's quite amusing. Maeryn took her turn being the little mom the other day when Afton was throwing a tantrum in the kitchen. Maeryn ran right up to her and said, in her face, "Time Out!" I guess they know what that means. :) Time-Outs have become much more frequent these days and it's certainly not uncommon to hear "No!" or "Nope!" in response to anything I ask them to do. They love to go "bye bye", and especially love to go to "the park", or "the big slide". I'm grateful that Spring is here because I have to admit that I have nearly every Barbie and Baby Einstein DVD memorized - time for a change of scenery!

Oh it's so good to see how you've been doing! Yep, it's definitely time for a change of scenery! Welcome Spring! Your little girls are soooo cute! It's so fun when kids start really talking. Caleb is just starting and I just love it! We should do a play day again sometime or a walk! Have a great day! Thanks for updating everyone!
