Amelia said to me tonight “Allison, I mean, Mama! When I’m bigger, I can catch the moon!” Several levels of cute and what a beautiful thing to say! And- I know she will do it some day. (The catalyst- she was listening to a kids song on the noggin website about catching the moon and watching two girls jumping while they tried to catch the moon.)

The second point of telling that story is “When I’m bigger I can…” is a phrase she picked up this week while Grannie Annie and Grandma stayed with the girls during our trip to Italy. The other two things are “it’s a little bit of junk” and “marshmallow” (I think from a Kermit the Frog book?). We are finding little hints from the bag of tricks Grannie brought along- some neat duck bath towels, the Kermit book, a turtle puzzle…

Tonight I told Amelia that Grannie and Grampy were going to visit Uncle Michael and Amelia said “I wanna go with Grannie, I wanna go see Michael”. I think Amelia and Grannie are good pals now.

We really appreciate Grannie and Grandma’s energy and love. Grandma just told me, “Children are for the young”. I hope they get some well deserved rest. : )

Here is Amelia enjoying a Nutella snack that we saw all over Italy.  It has a juice compartment on one half and snack sticks to dip in Nutella on the other half.

We snuggled with the girls a lot yesterday when we got home.  We missed them so much.

One awesome new thing is Daphne’s new mobility.  No, it’s not crawling, it’s rolling.  Tonight Ethan put her on the floor and she rolled 360 degrees!  Six times!  Back to front to back.  To all of our clapping and cheering, including Amelia.  It was hilarious and so cute.  We’ll get a video soon.
