Here's Gabriel giving Elijah an afternoon sword-fighting lesson; good thing as Elijah is already 13 months old. He thought the whole thing was great entertainment.

Lastly, here's my Tori humor of the day. When we were driving to pick up Moriah at soccer practice last night, Tori asked why all those zip lines were running next to the road; she was referring to the utility lines.

A few minutes ago, Tori asked Moriah if she would read her the "Alice the Wiesel" book. When Moriah asked her to find it, she pulled out...


I think the best part of having toddlers and preschoolers is their interpretation of our world!
