One Month Ago

One month ago, when we still had just TWO grandbabies, I was having trouble loading pictures on my blog.  Here are some pictures from WAY back in September that I've been dying to share.

Claire:  "With the help of my little measuring cups, the piano is truly a percussion instrument!  Everybody SING!"

Brianna:  "Grandpa, some of these nursery rhymes are pretty graphic, aren't they.  Look at that poor EGG!"

Both babies refer to Kitty Cat with something that resembles "Ke-e-e-e-e," often repeated numerous times, with a little rise in the inflection.

We all agreed that learning to play gently with a cat can be excellent training for not destroying a little brother.

Claire:  "I'm too busy studying molecular structure to think about destroying little brothers anyway.  I'm gonna be a physicist like Dad."

Claire has discovered a treasure trove of old yearbooks and photo albums.

Claire: "WOW!  Whoever these belong to must be ANCIENT!"

Brianna:  " No, I don't need a hand, thank you very much.  What I need is another SHOE!"

Claire and Brianna both love BUBBLES!  Watching bubbles, popping bubbles, blowing bubbles. 

And frequently, tasting bubbles!

On this day we set up an indoor campsite with the tent once belonging to Jennifer and Amanda.

Like all children, they love private and secret hiding places.  This is a rare picture, partly because Brianna, a perpetual motion machine, is voluntarily lying down.

Have you noticed that the babies don't seem like babies any more?  They're ready to be BIG SISTERS.  Want proof?  Let's listen in.

Claire:  Hey Cuz, why don't we start a club?

Brianna:  Great idea.  And NO BOYS allowed!

No, I'm just teasing.  These spunky gals are going to be the best big sisters around.  They're already practicing on Hunter, and little Evan won't be far behind.

And neither will more pictures-- I hope!
