They remember everything!

After going to the zoo, Luke was talking about the animals. Conversations with Luke are a little tough right now - he only strings 1-3 words together, but if you pay attention you can figure it out. He said "ride... giraffe." After confirming with him that he wants to ride the giraffe, he said "neck" so I knew he wanted to ride on the giraffe's neck. When you repeat what he's saying back to him filling in some blanks, he lets you know if you've got it right or not.

Then we were talking about the tiger. Luke wanted to ride him, too. David and I joked that the tiger would like to hold Luke by the neck.

Today when I was putting Luke to sleep, we talked about the zoo again. He said "tiger... neck... hold me." Thankfully, I'm pretty sure he doesn't know that tigers are suffocation killers, so this shouldn't be causing any nightmares.

My sister's husband, Dean, got the most amazing video of our eclipse. We were so very lucky to have thin clouds for most of the period of totality. Jump ahead to 4:25 to hear the crowd as we head into totality.

Thanks, Emmett.

At the first week of their ski lessons, David dropped Emmett and Luke off at their classes.  Yesterday David was starting his class, though, so I took them to their classes.  There are a lot of classes that meet outside, so there are signs up for each class - the big kids meet by letters and the little kids meet by numbers.  Emmett is in class "I" and Luke is in class 11.  The alphabet signs were clearly visible as we approached, but the numbers were behind some trees so I turned to ask Luke which way we should go around them.  Emmett helpfully called out, "See those signs?  My class meets by the one with a single line on it!"  Um, thanks for describing the letter "I" in a way I can understand, Emmett!
