update for the sake of an update

Who doesn't update their blog say, "aye." Aye.

I also heard an "aye" from Matt, Avery, and especially from the Blue Triangle. Check that one out. Last updated, one year ago. In fact, yesterday was the one year anniversary since Maysen last posted. So she loses. Unless this is "hearts", in which case she won because she "shot the moon."

We're now in Emmett. We drove here with no incidents. Unless you want to count the sewage leak by the broken elevator as an incident. But we won't.

Marie loves all the attention from Grandma and Grandpa. She shows that pleasure by blowing bubbles with her slobber. She maybe hates her uncles, but we're not sure yet.

Speaking of hated uncles, I visited Skye and Larkin last week. Skye is a funny combo between being super talkative and super shy. It's almost like those two traits can't be combined into one person, but Skye pulls it off. She's very cute and even put Mike into timeout because he threw a toy at her and hit her in the head. I know. Yeah, he did. I know.

Speaking of toys that can be thrown, I got Skye this kaleidoscope. It was pretty and red and shiny, with this liquid ooze that oozes threw the screen and has a compass that tells time. Skye liked it and would carry it around, and when she did throw it, it was only accidentally. Every morning I wake up wondering if Skye still likes it. I'm sure she does because it was pretty awesome. Skye is basically terrified of me...until I leave the room. As soon as I left the room she would talk and talk and ask me all sorts of questions and tell me all of her ideas. If I answered them, she became terrified again. I guess its almost like the Invisible Boy from Mystery Men where he is only invisible if absolutely nobody is looking at him, and if anybody looks at him, he becomes visible again. And it's probably not too much like that, but my point is, everybody should go back and watch that movie because its funny. Take me for example, I watched it yesterday. Mama pajama.

And Larkin is also an awesome niece. She is a baby and wasn't even scared of me. In fact, she seems to be a perfect baby who is always happy and laughing at everything. So it was fun to see Mike and Christen in their Richmond habitat. I even saw Mike in his white dentist coat and Oakley microscope glasses. I "helped" him with a patient. I won't tell you her name, because that would be a breach of the dentist-client relationship. So for our purposes I'll just call her snaggletooth. You should have seen the crap that Mike was scraping out of there. Giant gobs of chicken mcnugget meat, I guess. Plus, the worst part is that when she left Mike forgot to give her her free toothbrush.
