Graham's newest hobby is to dig through our recycling bin to dump water from one container to the next. He often comments, "This was my favorite juice when I was a little boy."

Inga and the weird wire duck (also Graham's favorite as a baby)

Bea and Inga (Bea's first battle wound is seen on her nose. We're not sure if it's self-inflicted or a love swipe from her sister.)

It was a beautiful day to play at Trinity Park!

Inga's first ride on a swing. She wasn't impressed.

Back at home, Inga and Bea relaxed on our swing in the backyard.

Bath time for Bea

Dreaming

It is with great shock and pleasure that I write briefly to let all of you who pray for my sanity know that BOTH babies are napping in the crib AT THE SAME TIME and that Graham is reading quietly to himself in the living room. This house has been quiet for 43 minutes (in a row) and I have actually finished a cup of tea that only had to be reheated once. Keep the prayers coming!

Graham's list of required equipment for bedtime has been growing of late: Nuk, blankie, two toy cars, and a flashlight. What's next, the lawnmower?

My mom suggested today that we should start labeling the pictures since not everyone can tell the girls apart from one another. Here you go!

GBI PoD 1.23.2009

We've had an eventful week here. Saturday and Sunday Graham was throwing up with the flu, Tuesday morning it hit me, Wednesday it hit Dad, Thursday Mom went down, and Thursday night David got it. Dad was the only one to bounce back within 12 hours - probably because he eats so healthy. Thankfully the girls seem to have avoided it so far. Monday night we were entertained by the news report that Durham was to see 1 - 3 inches of snow. At one point the newscaster, standing outside, declared that he would probably have to stop talking soon as his lips were going to freeze because the temperature had dipped to 27. It was pretty entertaining. We did get snow Monday night and Tuesday. Durham schools were closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday they started two hours late because there was still a little snow on the ground. I know this isn't exactly the winter retreat that Mom and Dad had in mind when they decided to come here for a few weeks! Let's hope next week we're healthy and warm!
