Chuck D & Mr. T

So sweet I just want to kiss them all day.

Teddy, Scottie, Nell…

Here are some photos Alex Friendly took of Teddy, my helpful model, last winter. Pretty great.

I’m really tired and the girls were up all night but nothing could be better than this.

Nelly Jelly has really been fussy and drooling. I think she might be teething. So early. But they are both constantly putting their tiny hands in their mouths. I was out today look for bracelets for them so people can tell them apart (since it’s getting chilly the nail polish on their toes won’t be so effective as they’ll be covered up). I need something that doesn’t have beads because I am afraid they will eat them.

Huck is a really good herder and while I feed the babies in their room and MJ baths the boys and we get everyone in bed, she sits at the top of the stairs, keep her flock inside the “gate.” Good job Minky Mink.

Huck hurt her knee so hasn’t been going out with Nick this week. I take her everywhere in the car with me now so that she has something fun to do. And she doesn’t even bark in the car because of her very effective electric collar.

MJ has been planting a pot of bean seeds with the boys. They are literally growing in front of our eyes. I had no idea beans grew this fast. MJ is obsessed with them. MJ also went out with some dads in the neighborhood tonight and is now sitting here staring at the beans. He really admires them.

I have started asking Charlie very specific questions about his day, “Who said something funny? What was the scariest thing you saw all day (it’s Halloween)? What did you do a very good job of dong?” He really thinks, smiles, then answers.
