The Boys Said What?
When Aaron first began using his inhaler in October 2006, we asked him what the medicine smelled like. His reply: "It smells like pot."
Aaron has stated that he always wants to live with us (mom and dad). When probed if he ever wants to marry and have his own family, he responds by saying he's going to marry Meg. When he learns that Meg is already spoken for--and that we refuse to raise an Oedipus in our midst--he gets mad and says that if he can't marry mom he won't marry anyone. Unbeknownst to Aaron, he is informally betrothed to Gracie, a girl his age in our ward; so we always suggest that Gracie is a possibility. Replies Aaron: "I could marry Gracie. She gave me a gun" (Aaron invited her to his birthday party in December, and while she wasn't able to come, she still brought a present for Aaron--a six-shooter Nerf gun).
Edward's vocabulary has exploded the last couple of weeks. He doesn't string together multiple words yet, but he can speak coherent words for his favorite objects, and can do a pretty good job of repeating a word that you teach him. He also understands just about everything you tell him, although he has shown this aptitude for many months now . . .

Ethan also has a friend named Gracie. We joked that if they got married (and she chose to take his last name), she would be Gracie Asay. We have two Megan Marie Asays, why not two Gracie Asays?
