The trick to telling if she's smiling behind the pacimafier: it's all in the eyes.

Dear Jen and Dave -

For us today we saw two little individuals emerge -- having seen them before in purely a grandparent mode we never really were given the benefit of who they really were (the first six weeks don't count as they only opened and closed mouths and eyes).

But today changed that. Your oldest child called us grandma and grandpa (when prompted but nevertheless parrots are cute), and lily played us with virtuoso performances. i think we should put her on the stage. ...where is my cheese sandwich with tomato??

ps. lily is much better, abby ate like she was a 200 lb. football player.

Day one hundred and one.

She's eating so well, a jade plant is growing out of her head.

Lily has been dragging this purse around ever since she got to the Stalker's. Now, according to Neil, the pony inside is a constant companion of hers.

Abby...dressing a pumpkin patch kid?
