The excitement never ceases around our house....or wherever we are. The pictures are from our playtime at a local park on Thursday evening. Sydney is posing just above the imprint of her body in the mulch below - yes, she tumbled off the platform, and, no, she didn't break anything. Both Sydney and Abigail were crawling up and down the stairs on the other side of the play gym, which has the slide. Sydney wanted to explore the other side of the gym and crawled backwards down the steps and off of theplatform. A mouthful of mulch and a few minutes of crying were worth the skydive!

As I mentioned in a previous post, the girls are 'stretching out' and are able to reach door knobs and, occasionally, open doors. For the first time on Friday, Sydney locked a door. It happened to be the door out to the garage and Rebekah and Abigail happened to be on the other side. To load the car, we take one munchin at a time and leave the other to her own devices in the house. Each of the girls will usually stand in the kitchen and wait, but Friday morning, Sydney decided to play with the door handle and accidentally lock the handle. Rebekah had her cell phone but no keys. All available extra keys were an hour or more away, so your friendly locksmith 'Hajijibaba' was summoned to pop the door open! The drama lasted for over an hour and no one was injured, praise the Lord! Backup plans are now in place so that we don't have a similar situations in the future.
