So sweet! I came downstairs to find the girls watching The Princess Diaries II. Tali and Ellie were sitting together on the couch and Tali was absent-mindedly rubbing Ellie's back for her.  Since these are the two that fight the most lately, I was especially blessed to see it!

Ben is Eon's biggest cheerleader! He is always praising him for something. "Mom, Simeon's holding his head up! Good job, Simeon!" or "Mom, Simeon's kicking his legs! Go, Simeon! You can do it!"  I think he'll be an excellent therapist some day.

Zak is our wild child and confirmed Daddy's boy. He is livid if I try to keep him in the house and Dad is out working.  If allowed to help, he will silently mimick every move Shawn makes. Shawn kicks a tire...Zak kicks a tire; Shawn looks under the truck...Zak looks under the truck. It is so cute!  Recently, he discovered the show "American Choppers" about motorcycles.  He shrieked and started jabbering unintelligibly, pointing outside, saying, "Daddy varoom, varoom! Daddy varoom, varoom!" and then pointing to the TV.  It was if he were saying, "They have a whole show about motorcycles?!? Dad has a motorcycle! How come no one told me?" He sat on the couch (with Shawn) and watched it for a half hour. This is the kid that won't even watch the Wiggles for more than five minutes. Amazingly scary!
