Okay, first off...apologies! I can't even believe it's been so long since my last entry! Honestly, it makes it on my "to-do" list quite frequently but somehow it never gets marked off...go figure. What a bad start...I'm so sorry.
Secondly, in answer to the questions surrounding our big excitement from a couple weeks back--here are the relevant bits from an article my dad found about it on the internet and sent to me the next morning (such a good researcher, huh!?!):
Standoff ends with suspect's surrender
A five-hour standoff ... ended peacefully Thursday with the surrender of a homicide suspect.
... police converged .... about 5 p.m. Thursday to serve an arrest warrant, evacuating about four or five nearby homes and offering residents shelter at a nearby park...
Police interviewed several other occupants of the home before negotiating the suspect's surrender around 10 p.m. There were no shots fired or injuries.

It was a very, very bizarre experience. It was about 10:50 pm when all our neighbors were let back onto the block. It was so surreal to see everyone coming in at the same time (sort of like a parade only without the same emotion!).
So on to better things...
How cute are these photos of A?!?! These are from when we went to Kara's with my friend. The pictures were taken by friend (much better photographer than me--plus it helps that she has a nicer camera too!) You wouldn't guess it but she is actually entertaining herself by looping through those bicycle locks (those stands that that look like interlocking "U"s. ) She would go under one section--no need to duck and then step over the next section. It was super, super cute! And I'm so glad my friend was able to capture her glee from the experience.
We've definitely entered the stage of cute words. Here are a few to leave you with...
"nah-me" = blankie (L came up with this; J says it's root is "mommy")
"ah-ya" = water (today was our 1st rain of the season and both were saying "ah-ya" "ah-ya"
"nee-no" = window
"oh no!" = said with extreme emotion (and a slight Norwegian accent!) by A--you'd think it was the end of the world when she says it
"Addy do it" = a clear marker that we are trying to be independent!
"Mommy's house" = my craft studio (used by L)
Until next time...all done, all done.
