the techie and the cuties

today we had to wait in line at the post office.  a year ago if i had to post something i half-chased a little three-and-a-half-year-old, while pregnant, while she pulled out greeting cards and wondered what we were waiting for?  now katie has our her kindle fire and a bundle of apps and can keep herself pretty happy while i'm trying to keep the baby from disturbing the peace in public.  instead of zoning out from the world and ignoring everything around her, she plays show-and-tell with the other post office patrons with the kindle fire.

she kept showing this lady named carol all the wonderful qualities of the device.  in fact, katie did not even want to leave.  she wanted to keep explaining fun games and apps on the kindle to her.

several people stopped and admired chubby  little gwyneth.  oh, those eyes.  oh, those cheeks.  one little old lady said "you take care of her, you have a doll."  i'm not bragging, just want to capture these moments before the babies grow up and aren't quite as "cute."  i love my baby girls.
