Banshees with iPhones

Ever since we got iPhones, the kids think they have iPhones. And to tell the truth, they're probably more adept at using them. Ansel discovered the YouTube button long before we noticed it, and now he and Elsa can quote the Charlie Bit Me video word for word.

Occasionally we'll see that we have 200 photos on our phones and discover that 190 of them are impressionist blurs of floors and walls taken by the kids. Cleaning our my phone's photo album, I came across this video that Henry made of himself on his way home from his baptism. (His comment about everything turning out great refers to his decision that morning to not be baptized but wait "17 years." We're glad he changed his mind.)

Cliffs Notes on the last few weeks

Hi. This is Greg posting for Suzy, who's taking a nap. She hasn't been blogging as much, but having a baby, moving across the ocean, buying and house and a car while caring for three other kids while your husband just goes to work and watches YouTube and browses the iTunes stores takes a lot our of a girl. So here are some highlights:

Henry got baptized last week.

Louisa was blessed the following Sunday.

Suzy's parents, plus my dad, stepmom and their kids came out to visit us.

Elsa pulled her own loose tooth right out of her head.

Love the pool.

Elsa set these books up in her room.

That's a book of quotations from Chairman Mao on the right.
