Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Kat - YAYAYAY! Go Grace! Go Noah!

K-Bug's response was - so what are the tricks? Oh, and she wants you to tell the SAT people that there needs to be more room for the essay.

Oh, and then she boggled at the baby pictures and says YAYAY!

GRACE SNUGGLAGE!!!!

Noah's (edit: And Grace! Yay!) got RAILS. No more giaganto rubbermaid.

So happy for both of them, and you getting to hold your girl too.

The expression on the confounded one is awesome.

It's practically a ritual to check each morning both yours and lori's flickr pages.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go K-Bug!

And go noodles!!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hey, what's the purpose of the pink NAME ALERT signs?

Suzi, I'm a UOP grad!

Yonks ago, of course...back when they still had the cool little specialty colleges...but yeah...u-op-sh-bop. That's my alma mater.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Tell K-Bug not to read the passage. Read the blurb first and then the entire intro and then the first two sentences of each paragraph then the conclusion. this is enough to answer the one or two main idea questions. The rest are all detail questions. Go back, scan just for the keywords. Read a couple of sentences around it for context then you'll be able to answer. For the detail questions, always check the passage.

Lori's pictures are so much better than mine end up being. But I'm happy to have both. I keep wanting to buy a new higher res camera.

Name Alert means that there are two babies with the same last name. So all of the twins have name alert, but if there were two Garcia babies not related, they'd have a name alert thing too. It reminds the nurses and docs to pay attention to orders, perscriptions etc. It's not just for the NICU, but all the floors use it.

Thanks Kat. I read that to her and her eyes lit up and she said "OK, thanks!".

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

It's a good thing to practice for a while because, for avid readers, it's hard NOT to read the whole passage. But usually the whole passage is too long and the detailed stuff TOO detailed to retain it. So why read it at all if you can get the gist for the one gist-y question.
