The Barneys: Practicing

Practicing

Last weekend, we went over to visit Andrew, Maria, and their new little baby Inara Loretta. What a little angel! She was such a sweet little baby--so precious. We loved getting to hold her, kiss her, and watch her funny faces.

We stayed the night at a hotel, and the next morning when we were heading back to visit them again, Summer said, "Inara is soooo cute."

Claire just loved holding her. When her turn was over and Rhett went to hold Inara, Claire got mad and started crying. She wanted to hold her more. It was so cute . . . which is such a relief. I'm glad she enjoyed the baby and got a little practice, because she'll be needing it come November when she gets a little sister herself!

PS The girls just love Andrew. We will sure miss their family when they leave!

Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"

"I wish my head was in my mouth so I could see what my tongue was doing."

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"

Claire told me she had "something" in her underwear. I asked her if she had an accident. She said, "No. I had a tooter and poop came out. Shooted right in there."

Me: "Stick your finger in your ear and see if you can get some of that ear wax out." Claire: "Nooooo. Because we have to lick it and that's how we wash it."
