Camera action


Brian got these cool shots of the kids. You can see them frozen in mid stride. Dominique was flapping her arms in excitement. I'm sure if she was a few pounds lighter (like about 15) she'd take to flight. She has recently learned to clap and is often caught between the joy and pride of learning something new and the surprise that she is making noise. Ivan was caught doing one of his favorites: running in circles. His modification of this is to spin in circles. When we dance, Ivan spins.

Everyone is real excited today since Nana is here. She makes everyday like xmas. Ivan was thrilled with gifts and new clothes, but most of all was happy to share his day and every single happenstance with his Nana. He is so happy that Nana eats and plays games and sleeps. They shared a room last night. Sometimes Ivan is easy to get down to bed. He realizes more and more that he is sleepy and will feel better if he gets some rest.

Ivan was pretty wild in the bath trying to impress his Nana. He pulled at Dominique a couple of times, splashed half the water out of the tub, getting Nana and me wet and invented bath basketball with his toys. I'm all for having fun, but I've discovered once you laugh once at something, it will be bigger and not necessarily better the next time!
