Aralyn and Caeden

It is really quite amazing how time slips by so quietly and so quickly. Caeden will be turning three in only a few months and Aralyn is nearly five and a half. The photo below shows them on our couch in the living room playing together for the camera.

Caeden is really starting to talk a lot, after a late start, and I am periodically stunned at Aralyn's memory and language skills. Yesterday were talking about an upcoming visit to M's place for dinner on Sunday evening and Aralyn asked about their cat. Our last visit was about a year ago and I don't believe that we discussed their cat at all since.

It is also really wonderful to watch Aralyn and Caeden bonding and playing together. They often talk in German to each other, most of which completely goes over my poor monolingual head. And of course, as with most siblings, they are usually either having a ball together, or one of them is busy tormenting the other.
