I'm pleased to announce that, if viewed at extremely close range and in favorable lighting, Max is no longer bald!
Oliver has declared his first sentence. "Drink the water." Seeing as he's waited 2.5 years to deliver this message, I'm pondering it for deeper meaning. I believe it is an evangelistic message based upon Jesus' words to the woman at the well. Yes, Oliver, I will drink the water!
Wesley enjoyed the dog park today by sticking his tongue through the fence, waiting for dogs to come by and lick it, which, of course, they did. I am not pondering this for deeper meaning.

From the Book of Common Prayer, A Confession for Sins Committed Between 8:30-11:30 This Morning
The Reconciliation of a Penitent (the two shall stand before mother as one, the collective Twin)
The Penitent begins
Bless me, for I have sinned.
The Mommy says
The Lord be in your heart and upon your lips that you may truly and humbly confess your sins: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Penitent
I confess to Almighty God, to his Church, and to you, that I have sinned by my own fault in thought, word, and deed, in things done and left undone; especially coveting the light-up shoes, stepping on my brother's face just after securing the light-up shoes, attempting to nurse even though I was weaned over a year ago, making the baby cry, running down the street, hitting the neighbor's car with a toy, sucking on the neighbor's beer bottle in his trash, rifling through the rest of the neighbor's trash, emptying spice bottles from the spice cabinet, stealing graham crackers, dumping 12 wooden puzzles right after they were put away, refusing to play by ourselves, stoning each other, sitting on top of mommy and fighting even when we were at the park, pulling a dog's hair, opening the van door, pretending not to hear mommy, stuffing coins into the van CD player, messing with the TV cords, messing with the phone jack, throwing a toy at mommy, ripping pages out of books, throwing play-doh across the room, running away at the park, and most grievous at all, making mommy sob at the lunch table because she just can't take it anymore.
For these and all other sins which I cannot now remember, I am truly sorry. I pray God to have mercy on me. I firmly intend amendment of life, and I humbly beg forgiveness of God and his Church, and ask you for counsel, direction, and absolution.
Here the mommy may offer counsel, direction, and comfort, but only after she's had a little break to compose herself.
