After watching an episode of Mythbusters, Larkin decided to test a myth himself. Is it possible for a mere mortal to rip a phone book in half?
How amazing is that?! He's practically a modern-day Popeye, if you ask me.

Reasons Why We Love Our Dad
You may think this is an early Father's Day post for Larkin, but that thought hadn't occurred to me until right now. The reason for this post is to tell our Daddy how much we love him and how much we miss him! Daddy's out of town for the week (hopefully securing our future for the next few years), and we miss him. LIKE CRAZY! The twins wanted to tell Daddy some of the many reasons why they love him so much.
1. He's the most fun dad there ever was.
1. He's the most fun dad there ever was.
He'll do things like set up a fort for us to play in.
2. He teaches Will how to be a man. These instructions include things like, "Put down that pink purse and pick up your football" and "Stop crying; you're not even hurt." 
3. He'll relinquish control of the remote for us. He has watched more episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Imagination Movers than any daddy should ever have to.
4. The number one, most important reason why we love our dad is because he loves us SO MUCH!
Also on this note, we love Dad because he loves Mom. Mom is kind of silly, and it takes a special guy to love her as much as Daddy does.
We miss you, Dad! We can't wait for you to come home and be with us!

A Rockin' Good Time
In the last few months we have given the twins more freedom in our house by opening up the nursery for them to play in. There ARE several shelves filled with toys for them to play with, however, in true kid form they ignore their toys and find "toys". First they discovered the little bookshelf full of kids books that they can pull off and throw around the room. I wouldn't mind the fact that they get books out to look at, except for the fact that to find a book they have to pull out all 200-ish books to find the one they want. In effort to slow this we have put the rocker in front of the shelf. It makes for fun reading opportunities like this one.
Allyson is reading them an animal book and if you listen close you can hear them making cat noises (cat is Will's favorite animal/noise - thanks Grandma Karen). It would have been longer but the battery died on the camera.
Of course the penalty of using the rocker in front of the books is that then the rocker itself becomes the toy. I think they see it as a roller coaster. Just listen.
The funny thing about this video is that at first glance you might say, "Awe, look they really do love each other and play with each other." But then if you watch closely at the end Anna gives William a nice little push that, you would see if the video had lasted a little longer, resulted in his belly-flop/face-plant on the floor. Ah, aren't kids the best!
