A flurry of blog activity

After a veritable drought in the posting department there has been a sudden flurry of activity. To what do we owe all this excitement and cuteness? It's hard to say. It could simply be a growing sense of guilt fostered by those who still check the blog on a regular basis. It could be due to a little extra time given to the blog, rather than sleep. It could be because we have had a couple of good eating days, although I definitely hesitate to attribute it to this, because if this were the case, and I by no means am suggesting that it is, but if it were the case, and little ears were to be listening in, why, then they might get it in their wee little heads to start stinking up their feeds again (meant in this case in a metaphorical way, however they are quite good at doing that in a literal way).
It could also just be the fact that there are suddenly a whole lot of people in town for what is sure to be an exciting, yet busy weekend (speaking of which...if you want to see an example of a sudden blizzard of blogging activity, head over to Marcos and Hannah's blog {Emma Jane's Godparents} They have had nearly half a dozen posts just since they got into town this morning!). Whatever the cause, we here at the home office hope you a) have noticed. b) haven't quite given up on us yet. and 3) enjoy

Parker, getting ready to make her social debut. While her sister was at the nephrologist the other day, Parker decided it was time to go meet some people. She took a quick trip to the church during non peak hours so she could meet a few people, without being overwhelmed or exposed to a lot of germs during flu season. This was so successful that she headed over to the school. The germ factories...er...students...were gone, but she was able to meet a number of the teachers. Parker was pretty excited, and pretty nervous about this whole trip. She was constantly worried about how her hair looked, but with her comb in her back pocket she was ready for any needed last minute fixes.

In an attempt to spread good will and harmony throughout the world, Parker and Emma Jane sat for together for a photo shoot. "If we can get along, so can all of you"

Personally, I am thinking that if you just brought this picture to Israel and passed it around to all the Israelites and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and...presto...problem solved. How can you have fighting and violence when there is such cuteness in the world?

"Can we stop being cute yet?"
"Just keep looking at the camera."
