Frills

 These girls are learning to be a big help.
I love it when they see how they can help by themselves. 

 Evren's fascination with shoes has not abated.
My dad cut his hair. It was a wrestling match. 

He looks so much older.

 Our neighbor makes bows and headbands. She let them pick some and they were giddy. 

Where did they get the frilly/sparkle/fancy gene?

How can they look so grown up already?

He Speaks!

 Maren picked this out for Halloween. It is the dress of a princess named Sofia.

She still says her favorite color is pink, but she always picks purple if she has a choice. 

 I got a bike, a bike trailer, and a bike seat for Evren. We can all ride together now!

 They like it and I get a work out.

Until now Evren has only said "Mama" and if I caught him saying something else he would never repeat it. Now he says "ball, up, ice, mine, nuh-uh, yours, these, is, and fries" and adds new words everyday.  "Is" is used for the question "What is it?" Daddy noted that he learned to say "fries" before he learned to say "Daddy". (He uses "Mama" for both of us)
