Glimpse from the Past Week...

The first four pictures of Claire and Chloe should have been movies. They were dancing with their "beautiful boa" and exercising with their exercise ball. I, however, was just snapping pictures and the result was blurry. I have never claimed to be a good photographer and this is proof. :)

Papa and the girls enjoying a book together. One of several books we read that day.

Chloe holds Christopher. He is growing so fast she won't be able to do that before long.

Claire's turn to hold Chris.

As the girls were eating their lunch we were talking about the rain and how it had made their creek grow. Chloe was concerned about the fish in the creek and if they "loved each other". The conversation went from the point of how fish kiss, to how dogs kiss, and how Eskimos kiss. You never know what subjects we will cover from day to day.

As I have mentioned before, the girls ask me about my parents quite often, where they are, and how they died. This week they wanted to see a picture so I brought one along. They both looked at it and then Claire said, "But they are really dead, right?" Claire also retold us the whole story of how Papa's biological father died (on a motorcycle) with great detail. We are really aware of the stories we tell and what we say, because, obviously, they soak up everything!
