Charlie and I are in Colorado visiting Baby Aubrey, the rest of the Galyon family, and the Ellis family, and we've both been missing Ellie and all of her crazy antics. Charlie really seems lost without her and he's been much, much more fussy without her constant entertainment (which is really sweet, but sad for Charlie).

Alex made me less homesick with some of the classic things she said today:

I was changing Charlie's diaper and Alex looked over my shoulder and said "I like the thing he pees with. It's big."
******************
Preparing for their weekly movie picnic, Alex asked Jamie to read the description of the movie we were going to watch. When Jamie finished, Alex said "That sounds horrible!"
******************
Alex likes to sit on my lap while I play a computer game called Tumble Bugs. Today, she said "Adrienne, you're not very good at this game."
******************
Alex: "You crack me up, Adrienne."

In every picture of families in the books we have read together with Ellie since we've been here, Ellie picks out baby Charlie. We'd say she's pretty attached to her little brother!

Alex sounds hysterical! What a fun visit:)

What is it with the girls of this youngest generation? Are they obsessed with gender-biology issues? Both Ellie and Alex now - just waiting for Aubrey to learn to talk and join in...

Adrienne, don't feel bad about the video game comment: you should hear Alex when I offer (threaten) to sing!
