February!

I'm a pretty sporadic blogger, what can I say. I save all my witticisms for GotTwinz. The boys are apparently doing really well in speech therapy with imitating sounds and attempting to say words. They don't do this at home. But Chris did sign "I love you" to me this morning, so that's the first time I've gotten an I love you from one of my kids. I was so excited - it was as good as the first "mama", which I waited three years to hear.

Chris's tooth seems to be ok. We saw the pediatric dentist again today (at $40 because insurance doesn't cover a checkup after an injury, for what ungodly reason I do not know - but they did cover the initial emergency injury visit) and he thinks it'll be fine but told me to keep watching it. It did turn a very light shade of gray, both the upper left incisor and the upper left lateral incisor. Apparently that's not a bad though, as long as it either lightens up or does not get any darker and he doesn't run a fever, and the teeth don't become loose in the sockets, then it'll be all right.

Here's some new pics of the boys.

Chris and Dom (with Daddy) at the Luray Caverns, throwing pennies in the wishing well. That was their favorite part. They like any time they get to throw things.

The boys with Mommy in the caverns. Chris is smiling sort of half-heartedly, Dom is looking front. They spent most of the mile and a quarter tour in the park's loaner strollers but they did walk some of it. They were really good and did not touch a thing.








At Ymir, inside the baronial pavilion. They had a grand old time running around the site and playing with Baroness Khaleeb's son William and the other kids. Below is them running around the soccer net behind the Marinus pavilion. You can see the listfield in the background and the other pavilions. King and Queen were on the right, but you can't see their pavilion in this shot really.
















Robert made it to the quarter-finals of the tourney, which is great considering he hasn't been in armor since last Ymir. It was a fun day. It was actually not freezing too, which is great because Ymir is usually like 30 degrees. It was low 60s this year, perfect for garb and fighting.
