no one can make simon smile like grandma. maybe it's because they share a name.

wedding at school

the kids had a fake wedding at school. zigs wanted to marry his school buddy, anderson. he's really got his heart set on john's girlfriend emily though.

caviar bringer

shana came over on tuesday and brought me caviar. it scared us! we opened the jar and the caviar was so black with a translucent greenish tint. It was dry and looked like clusters of hard spider eggs. we put some on a cracker and they rolled off so we got out some soft cheese. the caviar stained the soft cheese a bloody red color which scared us even more the outer shell was so thick that each little caviar ball was accompanied by a really loud pop. later, we ran errands and in the car shana noticed her pointer finger and thumb were stained red. she sniffed and said it smelled like an old recorder. scary.

head shape

mark and i noticed that if we put a squishy pillow under simon's head he doesn't mind laying down! otherwise, we have to hold him all day long. i think his long head shape was making it uncomfortable for him to rest on his back.

adjustment

zig is such a sweet older brother. but lately he's been so weepy and doesn't even know why. i think he's adjusting to sharing our attentions with a baby. it's hard and a little boring for a 4 year old to become an older brother, mom and dad understand, but you're doing a great job at it.

family time

look at my beautiful boys. i still get a little sad to think i won't have a girl but then i see moments like this and i'm alright with that.
