Everything's Coming Up Roses

There's more in bloom than the flowers in the garden. I'm amazed -- just amazed -- by how quickly the girls are growing.

Anna is fully walking. Talking (and when she lacks the word still still clearly gets her point across...the child is the master of the "point. grunt. scream!"). Biting; I've become her personal teething toy. And getting in. to. everything.




Lily is officially 4 1/2. Going on 21. It's all Noah and I can do to keep up with her. I fear that she's going to outpace us -- physically and intellectually -- in another 6 months.
