A little late

First, happy 2nd birthday Avery (2 weeks late)!! She's been walking around singing Happy Birthday in both English and Spanish for the last 3 weeks (she even sang it for the doctor on Tuesday at her 2-year check-up). As soon as I can find the video camera, I'll upload some video of her in action. She's obviously the 2nd child ... I think Audrey's 2nd birthday pix were up within hours of the action... =)

Second, Iain's first day of class was on Tuesday, and so far, so good. Again, as soon as I find the video camera, I'll upload the video of him on his way out the door (at 5:57am to catch the bus to the train to the next train to walk a few blocks to school).

Third, Audrey's favorite new thing to do is to set Avery up so that Audrey can tell on her. As background, Avery almost always says "yes" or "uh-huh" to anything Audrey asks. So earlier this week, Avery was drinking water out of a cup we were all sharing. The conversation went like this:

Audrey: "Avery, are you going to drink all the water?"
Avery: "Uh-huh"
Audrey (in a tattle-tale voice): "MOMMY, Avery says she's going to drink all the water."

Then, this morning, Avery and Audrey were standing in the kitchen while I was getting breakfast ready. Audrey said she wanted to help and I told her okay. Avery was standing there, minding her own business. Then Audrey says "Mommy, I just need to ask Avery one thing." The next part:

Audrey: "Avery, do you want Mommy to do it by herself so that I can't help?"
Avery: "Uh-huh."
Audrey: "MOMMY, Avery says she doesn't want me to help!"

Lastly, a couple of pix of the girls from this afternoon on their new roller coaster.
