Because This is Normal
Abby, “Mom, are there still pirates?”
Jessica, “Yes, I guess there still are.”
Abby, “I want to be a pirate when I grow up.”
Jessica, “You probably don’t want to be a pirate, that’s illegal.”
Abby, “What does illegal mean?”
Jessica, “It means that if they catch you, you will go to jail.”
Abby, “Oh. I don’t want to be a pirate.”

This would be a picture of my new niece. She’s pretty awesome. I’m rather excited to get to be around her, spend time with her, and be an uncle to her. All is going well with her (from what I know) and she should be leaving the hospital with her mom & pop tomorrow. Awesomeness.
Jeremy Doan, a pal, brother in Christ, and great photographer has also posted some pictures on his blog: here.
Evie is getting so big now its unbelievable. She’s doing things with more sophisication and she’s trying really hard to speak clearly about larger concepts like this:
“I’m getting so tall, just like sissy.”
It makes my daddy heart beat with a little bit more sorrow to think that they’re growing up, but with pride because they’re so amazing. Evie is pretty well potty trained, she’s reaching things that were out of reach before (which is a blessing and a curse, I suppose), and she’s still little enough to snuggle us. She’s getting so tall like her sister, and I’m loving every minute of it, even the tough parts.
