giggles 1 and giggles 2

Paul took this video about a month ago, when Beth and Maddie came to visit, and the five of us went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner. It makes me laugh every time I watch it, to see Savannah and Maddie crack each other up. And a picture from earlier that day, when we were playing Little People in our den:

In honor of my little brother’s 25th birthday yesterday, I am posting this lighthearted story I wrote during my senior year of high school.

Savannah hates being on her tummy. This doesn’t make sense to me, because I can’t sleep unless I’m on my tummy. :-) She’s also incredibly content, and will sit forever entertaining herself if you left her. However, she’s now almost 10 months old and doesn’t really move or scootch around at all like other babies her age. I really try not to compare, but whenever my friends talk about their kids crawling around – especially kids younger than Savannah! –…
