Me: “Bye, Owen!”
Owen: “Bye bye.”
Me: “I love you!”
Owen: “I love you!”
…and then my heart burst open right then and there. Aunt Katie was there to witness it!

Ava, sharing news of her Wednesday night Girl Scout meeting via FaceTime: “And I got to bring home a guppy! And, IT’S PREGNANT. Pregnant guppies can have 2o to 200 babies!”
Me: “Wait…what? We’re going to have 200 fish? This seems like a significant oversight on someone’s part.”

Home again
Me, on the way home from a five day trip to Boston: “Well, back to reality…”
Bryan, rapping an Eminem song in response: “Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity. Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked. He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that easy, no. He won’t have it, he knows his whole back’s to these ropes. It don’t matter, he’s dope.”
Me: “Good talk, Bry. Thanks.”

Ava: “Mom, you forgot to call Grandpa Gary on his birthday.”
Bec: “No I didn’t, I talked to him last night.”
Ava: “Really? When?”
Bec: “Remember when I was putting laundry into the washing machine and you were standing behind me saying, ‘Mom? Mom? Mommy? Mooooom? Mom?’ Then.”
Ava: “Oh, right…”

Seriously.
As I was contemplating text for a Facebook post about Owen, I asked Bryan his opinion. Ava offered her advice, which was, “You want to say, ‘LOOK AT MY CUTE BABY, WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS CUTE DAD,’ but without bragging.”
Exactly.
