A visit from Uncle Luke

Lucky for us, Uncle Luke had business in Dallas about a week and a half ago. While he was in town, he got to meet Ben and celebrate his goddaughter, Evie's, first birthday!  It was great to have you around Luke.  Come again!

All the boys...missing Uncle Stevie

Favorite Movie

At the moment, Leah's favorite movie to watch is "Mary Poppins."  Her first favorite was "Singing in the Rain" when she was just over 1.5 yrs old.  Then it was "The AristoCats" for a little while, and now it's "Mary Poppins."  Lucky for me, I don't mind seeing any of these movies repeatedly.

Anyway, We're really enjoying this Mary Poppins phase because Leah is now old enough to remember some of the words to the songs and we get to watch her dance and sing Mary Poppins tunes around the apartment.

Here is a little sample:

Go get it

This latest habit of Leah's is a result of the sickness that wiped out my two kids for two weeks.  While Leah was sick, I waited on her a little more than usual - You know, fetching the water from the table a foot in front of her while she remained snuggled up on the couch.  Well, there have been many variations of this scenario in the past week:

Leah: "Where's Leah's wa-wa?"

Me: "Um....there it is!  It's right there on the little table over there."
Leah: "Go ged it."
Me: "No, it's right there, just grab it. You get it."
Leah: "No, you go ged it."
Me: "Leah, that's not very nice."
Leah: "Please go ged it?"

I don't go get it.  She eventually gets the idea and fends for herself.  That is, until there is something else to "go ged."

Peek-a-boo!

I just can't get enough of Benjamin's giggling!
