Oh, Happy [Indoor] Day!

It's a perfect day to stay inside. Our windows are open, and there's a gentle breeze blowing through the house at 71 degrees. Oh, and my camera came. And it's so delightful to have a camera around the house again. So delightful, in fact, that I took indoor pictures of the kids.

You won't believe Scotty -- he's nearly crawling.
Even Grant was delightful and gave me a huge grin. He's not so delightful at this exact moment, however, as he won't take an afternoon nap. No, not delightful in the slightest. But let's look at his smile again. Yes, that will do now.

Grant also has something new to share (to compare with Scotty's mobility). Grant now calls his sister "Cole." Actually, it's more like this "K-k-k-Cole!" You see, he was just saying, "Ole." So I emphasized the "k" part, and well, now it's too late -- that's just going to have to be part of her name for a while. But it's better than the alternative, which was absolutely nothing at all. Now he just needs to learn his own name, which might be easier than it sounds, since he perfectly says the word ant on a regular basis. Well, off we go to practice. It's a suitable activity for an indoor day (although not quite as suitable as a long nap).
