True Signs

Yesterday afternoon I finally saw the first true signs of the kid's feeling better, and getting over the hump of these bugs they've had. I took them to McDonald's to eat, after church, and they inhaled their food. Each of them ate an entire fish sandwich, a few french fries, and Bryton had another 1/2 of a snack wrap. Those are the kids I know :) And then we stopped at a clothing store, so I could check out a few things...and they were very naughty! Hiding amongst the clothes racks, playing hide and seek; running from one side of the store to the other, playing "race"; laughing one minute and arguing/pushing each other the next. I think the ladies working there were happy to see us leave that place! Finally, I took them to get their hair trimmed...and Avery proceeded to talk her way through her entire haircut... and Bryton's. She talked about everything to that poor hair stylist: our dogs and how they are very different; the songs on the radio and where she's heard them; her long pretty hair, and how she thinks its "just beautiful"; and her friends. Bryton would add tid bits here and there, but mostly he played with the toys he had stashed in his pockets (typical Bryton :). Ahhh...to have healthy kids on the my hands again, who are very full of life... That feels good.
