How can it possibly be 15 days since we last posted? It's a good thing our travelmates are so good at keeping up with their blogs; otherwise, there would be little hope for us in keeping up with this one. Social comparison is a powerful motivator!
All is well here. We took the boys to the Indianapolis children's museum which has a very cool new Lego exhibit complete with nifty dress-up gear. Owen was in heaven! He donned his sword and (pink!) shield to protect his kingdom, especially from (little-brother-sized) green dragons. After the duel, Alex decompressed with a little tea party care of the three bears.



We also got out to do a little bit of hiking in the near 80 degree weather last week. I will be so very happy when spring is here to stay.

Alex's language is really starting to take off. He can now say and/or sign up, down, banana, mama, dada, ge ge (mandarin for big brother), shoes, kitty, turtle, cheers!, bye bye, hat, ball, milk, juice, and night night. He still LOVES to eat (grilled cheese and tomato soup is YUMMY!)

and continues to be a pretty easy baby, though he does get a bit hyper when he's tired. :)
