My boys are busy playing Star Wars Legos rights now. We spent the day in Albany with the Beck's for Palm Sunday/Easter celebrations. Levi and Bobbi made it up so everyone was able to see the new baby:) Quinn and Luke are pretty darn adorable as they play together. Quinn is wearing his new spiderman t-shirt and shorts from Marcia and Steve. The t-shirt is sleeveless and yellow and he's wearing it over his grey Darth Vader shirt. He's got on his new black shorts and has kept on his brown socks that went with his Easter outfit. He is perched on his red rocking chair from Grandma Edberg and has the Wii remotes clutched in his hands. He is making lots of narrative sort of comments, as is his father. They are both chuckling throughout their game play. I believe that my son is far more talented with a Wii remote than he probably should be, but I impressed nonetheless and predict many more hours of father/son video game playing over the years. "Roger" is stretching and moving in my belly and I am glad that after a long weekend, she is still up to moving about. Quinn and the family just finished a late dinner of pizza and Quinn was quick to tell me that if he finished his pizza, Dad said that he could have "chocolate" but the way he said chocolate was in a hushed whisper, adding intrigue to his treat. Sweet, sweet boy.

One of Quinn's new things is that he likes to pretend to steal our ears and then we pretend that we can't hear him and all he says. He laughs uproariously about the whole thing and it's all wonderfully happy. He is doing very well at his new session of swimming lessons and is good about holding on to the wall of the pool and kicking his little legs. We stopped at the Gap outletin Albertville today on our way back from Albany and picked up some new summer duds for the little man. He is going to be wearing 5t and clothes- wild! I can hardly believe that I have a near 4 year old and will soon be adding an infant to the mix! had the St. Kate's book fair yesterday at Barnes and Noble and visited with some nice parents. Karissa Baker, a former co-worker from SPA, has her son at St. Kate's and its fun to visit with her. McCall's Mom was also there with Quinn's pal and we are glad to here that they are returning next year.

Both Luke and I are proud of the fact that by and large, Quinn is a polite and friendly boy. When exhausted, he can be curt and not want to be forced into things, but in large part, he's a respectful kid. I am glad that we are doing our best to model manners to him. Roger continues to be the most popular name for his little sister to be. Luke and I continue to marinate over the other names we like and are trying to balance out the root of the name and the family associations as close to equal as possible. Who knows where we'll land on a name??

Spring break is finally here and I have tons to do this week. I need to finish the science work from last summer, I need to get lessons ready for the long term sub and it also looks like I need to ready a resume and cover letter for a potential new position at open school. that, and I should take it easy and try my best not to have a baby:)

Quinn continues to be a happy co-sleeper and snuggles as close to me as possible, then stretching his legs across the rest of the bed so I can't switch sides and make any gains in space. Funny kid. We were able to get him off a wierd week of Spongebob and Nick tv and move him to pbs. He had worn tired of the disney line up and likes the arthur, george mix. I saw the trailer for toy story 3 today and that is going to be quite good:)

Just finished a mystery that was reviewed in people magazine and now I'm going to dive into diana gabaldon. The boys are laughing and shouting. Luke sometimes reprimands Quinn's moves and I think Quinn likes teasing him with their progress by jumping into water, off ledges, etc. My son loves being a storm trooper and often asks if I want to come and play with him and be a jedi and he'll be a storm trooper. Funny kid. I do love them both so very, very much.
