When we laugh

It's getting noisier around ... when the big kiddos shout to each other from opposite floors of our three-story house ... when the all-percussion marching band winds its way through the living room ... when the impossible-to-disable and nerve-grating dryer buzzer sounds off the end of yet another load of laundry ... when Baby H is hollering at the tops of his lungs to please pay attention to me RIGHT NOW!

There's much more going on around here than there was just two months ago. Our days are full of playing, learning, bathing, cooking, eating, loving, living and all of these tasks are just making more racket than they ever have. The small people here are getting bigger and they churn out a lot more energy than they once did. And there are more of them, too.

My favorite noise-making activity?
