some videos and an aside....

Taylor lost a tooth and said, "I'll just leave it on my desk, it's easier to reach." So practical, but still, he'll have the money, please.

way behind....

I have several things I would like to get posted, but, I don't think today looks good for it. However, before I forget, Taylor's baseball team is so good. They amaze me a play or two every game, but last night, they were on fire. They won 16 to 7, and except for one or two mistakes, they were wonderful. The game on Saturday ended with a 12 to 12 tie. But, Taylor hit the ball at least once in both games. I don't actually remember, but I have some videos. Things are a little busy at the moment, but I will get them up. We are about to have spring break, so that will allow catchup time. There are other things that I want to accomplish before the blog hits priority again. Trent and I have had to spend a lot of time lately taking turns staying home with the sick babies, but they are getting better and were only sick for 3 or 4 days. He was sick, too and so, got to stay home Sunday afternoon. It was really nice for an afternoon to spend at home together.

a haircut and a crowded bed....

Taylor has been talking for weeks about getting his haircut and has mentioned several (very interesting) hairstyle ideas, but he has not settled on anything. I cut Trent's hair off, at his request, and so last night Taylor let me cut his off. He is planning on growing parts of it back out, but still hasn't decided which parts he wants to grow. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation we shared while I cut his hair. He is so stinking smart that I felt behind him the whole time. He was referring to things that I didn't realize he knew and it took me a few sentences before I realized what he was saying. Then, I would think, "Oh, I see" and reply. Then, it was on to the next thing the same way. Sometimes he just catches me off guard. He even made a metaphor about metaphors (don't know how we got there, but there were metaphors flying) and he said he is "the opposite of Samson". At any rate the hair got cut and looks just fine. I am sure that, like Trent, he'll be glad for it the first time he starts to sweat. Now it is my turn to whack off the locks. Also, over the last few weeks, Jewel has been showing more and more interest in her dolls, and that is very cute. She fell asleep with Pooh and her princess doll last night. But, when she came to bed, rather than a sippy cup of water (the usual) she brought her "twin" doll (which is hard plastic) and her pooh. Both of them slept with us, one tucked under each arm all night. So funny, and crowded. She even tried to make me hold the hard plastic doll at one point. But when I gave it back she whined and hugged it and went back to sleep. I have some pictures but they will have to wait, it's Monday. Tuesday I get to go to orientation, obviously I can't wait.
