Adventures of a Family

Jonah cracked this joke at dinner a few nights ago. Here it is again, in all its glory.

Ok-admitedly this isn't all that interesting, just a cute shot of the two of them in the double stroller on our way home from the farmers' market last weekend.

Here they are, the two of them just playing. Sometimes things are so tranquil!!

Here's how Jonah plays hide and seek: 1-Jonah points to the spot where Mommy is suppose to hide 2-Jonah goes to a corner and counts sometimes to 4, sometimes, to 7, sometimes to 10 3-Jonah runs over to the designated "hiding" spot while giggling his head off 4-Mommy leaps out and tickles Jonah as he runs away FUN!

Our friends Byron, Elke and Skyler, loaned us season 1 of Fraggle Rock and I couldn't help but notice the resmeblance between the cute little Doozers and my cute little Mae.

Mae turns 6 months old this Wednesday and I can hardly believe it. So here are some of the things I have been thinking about: There is a direct correlation between number of kids and reduction of "free" time. Though for some reason it doesn't seem to matter much. Mae is in love with all of us. She has the most beautiful sparkle in her eyes when she looks at Hallie and me. When she looks at Jonah it makes me jealous that she doesn't look at me that way. She LOVES Jonah. Anything he does is funny to her. He touches her on the head and says in a sweet voice, "Hi Mae" and she sighs, giggles and wiggles with delight. Hallie says that this is the reason that older siblings can totally take advantage of their younger brothers or sisters. Now I think that is not true but don't talk to my sister about that. She'll just lie and tell you a story about how I used to make her look in the sleeve of my long sleeve shirt (while I was wearing it) and then
