I'm glad to be on this ride too!
Two is really amazing. They are growing and developing. I realize that in pictures Grace and Noah can both look a little blank, Grace especially. But they are such little people!
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's UMPOSSIBLE. Also cool.
I know! It's so awesome. And their personalities come out in abundance in their photos! It's amazing that they're little people.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Oh no, the personalities are there in the pictures if you know what to look for -- though I agree, a lot of expression is in the way they move and vocalize at this age.
I'm just so frustrated that Grace is still in the hospital at this point, but it's clear that she's thriving as much as possible.

Our wings are not tired.
But they are such little people!
Late with the happy birthday wishes. People call the 2s terrible, but I didn't think 2 was terrible at all! It was when the boys were 2 that we began to communicate on levels that was impossible when they were babies. They become more little people with new abilities to make their personalities and opinions known. It is an awesome age.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was talking with another parent at the playground yesterday and he used the phrase "coming online" to describe this age (18m+), which I thought was perfect.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I still like the term "twoberty."

Also, "Dylan Zaphod Alter" is an anagram for "Alpha Zany Toddler." I think Dylan wins at anagram.

hip deep in pie
I was up early trying to making a lemon meringue pie for a barbecue I am going to this afternoon. Major piepocalypse! when I mistook the bowl of egg whites for the bowl of lemon juice. (damn coloured bowls!) I almost just gave up, but decided what the hey, and continued on. The raw lemon curd alone didn't taste too bad, but we'll see.
Also, was using recipe from America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Cookbook, which I swear, was the one I used a couple of weeks ago, but it was different. I guess I must have used the one in Best Recipe.
