day two

Dear Grandma,

Not much to report here. Tortoise is back in her pen, and the doggies are great. The boys roughhoused a little in the morning but mostly everyone just chilled out all day.

"Hey ... is that a basketball in there?!?! Can we go in??" -Betty
"No, dogs."

"Pleeeeeeease?" - Elvis
"I don't think so."

"Cool with me." - Lucy

The babies are looking forward to everyone coming home, especially Uncle Chris. We went to Scouts tonight and everyone got suckers. They had to sit on the tile to finish them at home because they were sticky messes.


Everyone is doing a great job of learning to say "please." "Thank you" is already mastered. Tucker poopied on the potty again tonight. He also bonked his head falling off of Mom and Dad's bed, on which he may or may not have been jumping. At the table we were talking about who is a boy and who is a girl - one of our favorite things to talk about - and I asked Audrey, "Audrey's a..." and she finished with "PRINCESS!" All through Scouts Sean kept coming back from playing (there were many little kids) every few minutes to ask Mom, "Treats? Treats? Sean want treats." He knew that Mommy had gone to the store to get treats for afterward.

Sorry you have strep throat. :( Hope you're taking good care of that boy of ours. We're all so proud that he was the DISTINGUISHED SOLDIER for his whole platoon.

We spotted you and Dad, too!

Love you,
Mikey Mook
