Yesterday I was on the treadmill when Benjamin came in all concerned about some bug that was in the bathroom. The night before he'd been bitten by a mosquito and was therefore all freaked out that the unknown bug was the offending blood-sucker. He said, "Mom! Come quick! There's a big bug in the bathroom! I think it's a mosquito-- only it's bigger. It looks like a behemoth mosquito!" I was floored. "Did you just say behemoth??" He assured me that he had. I asked where he had learned the word, but he said, "Nowhere. I just used it." What on earth??? I don't think I knew that word until I was in my twenties!

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
