Cousins!

Kay took several classes this past semester,

and with Mimi never knowing when her

exit time from work will be, we traded who

we picked up for church on Wednesday

nights. We gave Grandma to Mimi because it

is close to church, and Kay started bringing

the kids over after Abby got home from

school at 3 pm. Kay would then go on to ACC.

The kids would play, eat dinner, get cleaned up,

and off we'd go, trying to get out the door by

625-630.

Royanne sure likes to imitate everything

Liam does. Take for example, scream. She

can sound just like him. Now she is in love

with band-uhs (bandaids). Now she wants

them all the time, (Go Family Dollar, go!)

and she'll say "Eeeeelllllbbbbooooooowwww

hurrrrrrrrrrrrtttt, momma!"

[or perhaps another body part.]

Liam, this particular afternoon, remembered he had a small

cut that just might bleed.

And this week, she's started saying something

Liam always says and it is just too funny,

coming from her!

Whenever he doesn't like the way the day

is going or my rules (like "Don't jump from

the couch to the playscape!")

he'll say "I WANNA GO HOME!" &

along with all this comes alligator tears!

Now she's saying it whenever she doesn't get

her way but she doesn't realize she's

already home! So far, no instant

waterworks. She's a hoot!

Enjoying sodas and a tub of popcorn

before church. Sometimes, that's just

more fun!
