uncle scott!

Uncle Scott and Beth came to visit for the weekend (Grandma B too!) and Uncle Scott became Anna's new favorite person, even trying to say his name. Beth is so very nice, and Anna completely ignored her like the little booger that she is sometimes. What can I say, she likes the men in the family. She drags her toy moose all over the house, takes it to Nancy's house every day, and sleeps with it almost every night.

I think my children are two of the most fascinating people around and I truly could spend all day watching them and playing with them. I love them both so much, but find every day that the way that interact is even more lovable. Evan just loves his big sister and always has a big smile for her. He reaches out for her and tries to grab her. She seems to like him too, and today I walked in to the living room while Evan was in the exersaucer. Anna had gotten out her hat and put it on Evan and was saying "Go outside" in her adorable little voice. I quickly got the camera and captured this (I have some video too, but it will need to be edited down before I post it):


Being back to work, our evenings are quite a rush of getting things done. As a result, Anna has not had much time to play outside after dinner. Last week, John was on his way back to work for Open House and Anna had a complete fit when he left. She desperately wanted to go outside. It was raining, and she was undressed (we had just finished pasta for dinner so she was in a diaper only). I tried to cheer her up playing with Evan's monkey shorts - monkeys are her latest thing. So she wore her baby brother's shorts, and yes, they fit. Well the screaming fit continued until I let her out on the deck, in the rain. She LOVED it. The neighbors probably think I am nuts, or unfit to parent.

Evan is becoming quite the funny man, but not the ham in front of the camera that Anna is. When he sees the camera coming, he turns on his thoughtful face. Here is a smiley face from last week.
