Grandpa Ernie and Grandma Glynna are reveling in having all the grandkids nearby at once, for the first time in years. Asaph is 7 now, loves science and wrestling with Uncle Caleb (that just about goes for all the kids). Jirah is 5 and a little mother-in-training. She loves to come alongside the younger kids, take them by the hand and show them how it’s done. Haddie is Eva’s age (2 ½), and Mommy’s little shadow. Eva goes back and forth between enjoying the fun of so many playmates, and being a little intimidated by the normal jockeying in the ranks. The same goes for my parents’ dog, a little silky named Mocha. One minute she’s calling him, wanting to play, and the next she’s shrieking and running away because he got excited and started jumping on her. Amanda recently graduated to size 4 diapers, and is passing on all her size 3 diapers to cousin Haddie (I know, can you believe it?). She’s still learning to sit up, and can do it for quite awhile now before toppling over. She loves playing with Grandma’s classic tin measuring spoons, swinging them wildly and listening to them chime. I got a ton of great pictures! 
Such a cute paragraph.
