the kaleidoscope is meant to be a continued series and tells itty-bitty incidents, which are too small to fill a whole chapter but too significant to fade into oblivion. so, here are the first two:

1) collin is the opposite of "sleeping beauty": when you kiss him, he falls asleep. too sad, that this won't spread, or else all the thorny shrubberies around the house would stop growing. :)

2) when vicky is hungry, don't get too close with your face, or else she sucks the tip of your nose - a funny feeling... actually, she seems to feel appointed to solve our storage problem (see chapter 118): by excessive formula consumption. unbelievable what she gulps away. if this keeps going on like this, she will need her own cow! :)

so happy to learn that you are all home safe and sound!
LOVE to see the photographs of the babies-
hope mom and dad and hera are doing well adjusting,
along with the wee three,
to life together as one family!
sending love and hugs from michigan!
