The kids are changing almost daily. Roscoe just looks different. He has little boy (not toddler) eyebrows. That is the thing that is really striking me right now. Luka rolled over the other way last night (back to front). I know she will be eating food and crawling before I know it. It is like she grew up over night. She is even letting other people hold her! And has started napping unattached to me! I was thinking last night that I am willing to keep waking up one million times a night if it just means time will slow enough for me to take it all in... it is going so fast!
Last week was such a sweet time between jobs to spend with them. Oma (Roscoe is now too mature for Ahmoo, I guess) came to visit and save the day. She mended my clothes, re-taught me to use my own sewing machine, scrubbed down our kitchen and bathrooms, did my hair, let me convince her to do something fun and drastic to her own hair (and then trusted me to execute - ha!), ran every thinkable errand with me, watched the kids while Ray and I had our first date night since her last visit in November 2010. It was just what I needed. Now that things are so much busier, I don't have to worry about cleaning or organizing or mending for a good long time. Three cheers for Oma!
In a (very) tangible sign of my own growing up, my mom found 2 (that's TWO) gray hairs while highlighting my hair during her visit. Alas, there is proof (well, I guess the wrinkles counted as proof, too) that I am not as young as I think I am. Yet (in a flash of sick pleasure) I was pleased that Ray found his first gray hair before I did. He might have the genes of eternal youth, but at least he won't look 20 when I look 40.
And the photos!

I tried (really I did) to get a picture of Roscoe to show how much he is growing, but this is as still as he gets:
