Spring 2009 Photos and Quotes. Easter trip to WV, Meeting Skye McCain

For Easter, we continued our tradition of spending Spring Break with my parents in WV. The highlight of the trip was getting to meet my brother's new baby, Skye. She is beautiful and our nephew (now 3) is, of course, a fabulous Big Brother.

Lydia wrote this journal page about our trip. It begins, "Soon I am going to my..."

Here are a few other stories:

Russell (3) to Lydia (7): Your bedroom door is locked. I did it because there were mons-ers in there.

Russell called the store's 'elevator' an 'allivator' (sounds like alligator).

Russell walked up to me while I was checking e-mail and said, "I need to do some things on the re-puter. Do you have any Spiderman.com on there? "But how do you get P-iderman to fly? What if he runs out of battery?"

Lydia (7) was bargaining with me about a crucial girly party she might miss due to a trip: "Mom, I'd want you to make it up to me like you did that time you took us out for ice cream. The trip (itself) won't work. Shoes would work."

Lydia is pretty dramatic. For example, asking her to pick up her socks might lead to this cry: "I'm being tortured. TORTURED, I say!"
