Rebecca: “Owen, come over here. I want to tell you how cute and little you are.”
Owen: “I’m poopy.”

Ava Kate celebrated her 10th birthday yesterday. Thanks so much for the sweet calls and messages from near and far–much appreciated! More on this occasion very soon…

I had some pleasant company on my Saturday walk: a sweet girl who reported that Gramma taught her to double-knot her shoes, and that she is indeed a very fast runner. “Almost as fast as Kyle,” for those of you keeping track.
15 Mar
Ava, from the back of the man van: “Wait! I’m not bickily-bucked!”
Bryan: “Is everyone buckled up?”
Ava: “No! What do you think ‘bickily-buck’ means?!”

Owen, to Uncle Tom: “My shirt glows in the dark. Your shirt doesn’t. Your shirt is broken.”

There’s a small addition underway at the school, and Owen’s ready to offer whatever supervision is necessary.

While the Tooth Fairy didn’t show herself last night, she did leave behind a fair amount of fairy dust for sweet Olivia.
