Piper, my two year old, has decided that she knows best when the diaper comes off.  Oh no!  I am too lazy to duct tape the diapers on her yet, and definitely not up to potty training her, so I guess it's my own fault :).

Lily (6) is our official chicken egg gatherer and Havala (5 1/2 months) nurturer, both of which are sometimes scary.  However, most of the time the eggs come in unbroken and Havala still seems to love her passionately loving older sister.

Hyrum decided that all the boys in the children's book Quinn was reading to him are boys "because I can see their ears...there's a boy...there's a boy..."etc.  The girls all had hair over their ears.   Strange, the connections we make!

Drew (7) is the Konnex (sp?) king and has designed all sorts of fun mechanical structures.  Sending him to his room is not a punishment!  He also won three games of "lightning", "tornado", or "speed" (whichever you choose to call it) the other night against his dad, Tova, Kel, and some friends...go Goob!

As my little Piper drapes herself across my lap with me lightly tracing her darling tummy , I am reminded of another little boy who loved to do the same thing. I am so grateful for family! And not just my immediate one. As I just finished reading a poem about sisters, it made me grateful for all the sisters that have been given me, through my mother, my daughters, my brothers' wives, and sweet aunts and cousins. We truly learn so much from each other,...we need each other!
