They were tall to short, just in a row - boop, boop, boop.
2009
This year, they barely fit...legs are everywhere, torsoes have stretched, arms that can reach, and the glory of the lollipop has been passed on to the younger generation. The older two most likely either did not have one or chewed it up fast to get rid of the stick.
Gavin has finished kindergarten, now has a mohawk and has more legs and arms than he knows what to do with. He can run and I mean run. He can beat me in Mario Cart. Nora is fast approaching 5 with Mommy putting on the breaks. She is growing faster than Gavin and threatens to pass him ~8 years of age, as far as I can tell. She is starting to read, writes efficiently and has learned a ton of new songs, including pop-music favorites. She has a MP3 player! Dylan speaks with sentence structure and the vocabulary of a 3 year old spoken with the linguistic ability of a 2+ year old - adorable. He is insightful yet is a mocking bird. He is following as closely behind his siblings as his now-longer legs can carry him. An amazing year of differences.

Some things are the same. They still love their lovies (Bunny, Li-Li, Pink Bear, Frogger and Roary), they still snuggle down into their beds the same way: Gavin on his left side, Nora on her right with one leg up and Dylan on his belly. Gavin has already reached a beautiful shade of tan for the summer and they are all turning their summer shade of blonde. Blue, chocolate and brown eyes between them. Smiles from all. Laughter, squeals and rare tears. They love the water, Nora loves to be soaked and Gavin likes to dish it out. They are slaves to their routine and they are wonderful.
