It's been a while since I last posted, so an update is in order.  However, I can't think of any funny stories so I will just ramble.  Alice got her pink cast off a couple of weeks ago.  That night we celebrated by going to cirque du soleil.  We all enjoyed ourselves--except for G & G who babysat Roxie.  It was nice to be able to give Alice some one-on-one time.  Jake has acquired a scooter to cut down on gas prices.  He will be able to drive it to work--weather permitting.  So far, it has been raining most everyday.  He will only use about 1 gallon of gas to commute to work each week as opposed to 1 tank of gas.  That should save some money--IF we have some sunny days soon!  Alice and Roxie are cohabitating as of last week.  I couldn't stand how cramped our office was with the pack n play!  Roxie is sleeping just great in the crib in Alice's room.  Plus, we have discovered that Alice is a really hard sleeper--bonus.  Roxie has had a couple nights were she starts squawking in the wee hours of the morning.  Alice didn't flinch.  We wrap Roxie back up and let her squawk herself back to sleep.  That was the initial reason that we had them in separate rooms--so Alice doesn't get woken up.  Turns out, it didn't matter.  It also helps that Roxie sleeps through the night more often than not.  Roxie is getting more fun each day.  She plays with toys a lot more, and loves talking.  She also loves squealing, and making really high pitched noises.  We think we is part girl, part dog whistle.  Yesterday Alice gave her first talk in primary.  She was so excited to be able to say her talk into the "speaker" (aka microphone).  I whispered in her ear and she spoke into the microphone.  She did a great job.  I think she was one of the first Sunbeams (ages 3-4) to give a talk this year.  We are proud of her.  I was always really nervous to do stuff like that--still am.  It's amazing how kids come with their own little (or big) personalities.
