Yesterday Anders had fun playing with Aubrey in their little wading pool. It's fun to see the personality of the kids as they interact. Anders is pretty cautious and careful with his movements. He is pretty methodical with what he does. Aubrey on the other hand is quite a tom boy and charges ahead not seeming to mind when she falls down or bumps into something. Anders came running over to me with his hand held out and was squealing with annoyance. I thought that he must have a little bug on his hand or something but it turned out to just be a little piece of grass that had stuck to his hand. he doesn't like getting dirty and I have to keep telling him that it's o.k. to have a little dirt on his hands. Aubrey would stomp through mud then sit down to play in it if her mom would let her! Kelly and I were laughing about how different they are and how it is quite obvious even at this age!

Looks like they're having fun. Love Anders smile. In the future, you might want to discourage the skinny dippin'. =)

So cute, and fun to see how their personalities are different, even now. Funny about that bad ol' blade f grass! :-)

Gretchen, as I read your story, I had to smile :) as it reminded me so much of Chris at that age. He would come to me with muddy hands or finger painting hands and a distressed expression on his face...as if to say.. "This is a mess"! :) Bless you for all your time posting photos and keeping us all connected who are far away! You are loved!! Hugs, Grandma "J"
