So, tonight, Sarah and Michael were walking with Zachary attached to Michael, and Peter Quast and I were trailing behind with Edwin.  Peter wished to go home, which meant saying goodbye. So, I yelled out to Michael, "Miiiiiichaeeeeel!!!" and Edwin goes, "Miiiiiichaeeeeeellll", and I tickle him and tell him, "No, Michael to me, but Daddy to YOU" and he starts in on this, "MIIIIIICHAEEEEEELLLL!!!!  Daddy to you.  MIIIICHAEEEEELLLLL!!!!  Daddy to you."  and he's been saying it all night.  It's pretty funny.  He also has taken to saying "Pee out yer penis" and "Poop out yer butt." Just randomly like that while playing. 

Jurassic Anatomy

Edwin and I were reading the childrens' book Dinosaur Roar last night. He knows most of this book by heart now, and will "read" almost any given page correctly. After going through this book for a while, he got a funny glint in his eye, pointed to the appropriate portion of dinosaur anatomy and informed me "Dinosaur has a butt".

Just dropping in to say I'm sorry to anyone who's reading this and I'm sorry to the kids for not writing too much lately.  We've been happy but oh so busy!!!  We did see the leaves and we even got leaves here in Philly, Cecily was right.  We do get leaves in Philly, just not quite as many red Maples as we're used to.  But they're alive and well fairly nearby!  In any case, we even get dustings of snow occasionally.

Well, the semester is drawing quickly to a close, and I'm busy finishing up while trying already not to get behind on next semester!
