Finally

It's been so long since I've posted an update I don't even know where to begin. Therefore I won't begin, I'll just continue. The title of the post obviously references the lack of posting happening here but it also references the biggest surprise I got at Christmas... an iPhone!!! I was stunned, shocked, and super excited when Stephen surprised me with it on Christmas morning but apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Exhibit A: Peyton

Exhibit B: Grace


Video Exhibit C: Grace

I've downloaded a bunch of kid friendly, educational (if you can believe it) games for the girls to play. So far they have come in handy at the doctor's office and at restaurants if things get ugly. It's almost scary how well and quickly they've adapted to the technology. Makes me wonder what their "iPhone" will be, a flying car perhaps? A robot that makes dinner for you? (I hope I'm still alive for that one!)

This has made me ponder the following question, which I try to avoid thinking about at all costs:

When will they get cell phones of their own?

I'm shuddering just thinking about the bills! I don't think I got one until I was 16 or 17. It lived in the glove compartment of the car and was only to be used in an emergency. I was in college before I got a phone I could actually use!

Scary stuff!
