Well the girlies are having fun as usual.  They love to help each other eat:  one will say "help sissy?"  The other will then nod and the first one will get up to help her.  She'll grab sissy's fork, get some food on it, and say "airplane sissy!"  Then she will make a buzzing sound, wave the food around, and then open her mouth really wide.  After getting the bite into sissy's mough, she will then pat her on the head and say "good baby."  They then reverse the roles.  Heidi is starting to take more after her mommy:  the other day Heidi was half way down the stairs and I was all the way down the stairs when she suddenly wants tigger.  "Tigger Dada?"  "Tigger's upstairs Heidi."  <pause>  "Get tigger, Dada?"  The girl's language is really developing.  They will sometimes say please and thank you without being prompted.  That makes it difficult for us to explain that they asked nicely, but they still can't have any. 

    Sarah's been feeling sick and is now officially feeling pregnant.  A little while ago she went to Tulsa, and Heidi barfed in the car on the way there.  That got Sarah in a tizzy.  She started feeling bad and started her own versioin in Tulsa.  She spent a week there before she felt well enough to drive back.  Now she pretty much warms the couch, drinks shakes, and eats cereal. 

I have one day and one call left for anesthesia.  It's been real easy with nothing exciting to report.

The girls have been doing some funny things lately. Right now they are eating toasted oats. With each toasted oat they are talking for it and then putting it in their mouth. Earlier today when we were trying to leave the park Heidi kept on lagging behind and looking at things on the ground. At one point when we were in a grassy area she found some acorns and they both got interested in them and would not leave to get into the car. Elizabeth is quite the climber. At the park she is very interested in climbing up the ladders that are made out of metal pipes instead of using the stairs. Today she actually climbed into Heidi's bed. I am thankful that she is not wanting to climb out of her bed, but it will probably not be long before that happens. I guess it is time to start the transition to big girl beds. Lately they have also been copying what we say for prayer before bed which is really cute. Well, they are making the mess that I did not want them to make and my dinner is ready so I will type more some other time.
