- Rachel, to a grumpy Corinna: "It's not always about you, kid. Sometimes, it's about dinner."
- Picked up a subdued and somewhat anxious Isaac from Sunday School today. He had a coloring page with a cake with an 8 on top. Waving his page at me, he protested, "I don't want to be eight. I want [to] stay four!" I assured him that he was welcome to stay four as long as he wants. Four is a good age. [October: post-birthday, Isaac has decided that five is a good age, too. But he still doesn't want to get older than THAT!]
- Rachel peered into Isaac's Sunday School classroom while passing down the hall. All the children were sitting still in their chairs, listening to the teacher... except Isaac, who was upside down, with his head in the chair, and his legs waving. Litttle Ellises just aren't very good at sitting still.
- Matthew: "What is CC in email?" Rachel: "Carbon copy. Oh, that's right, you don't know what carbon copies are."
- Rachel: "I'm very restrained in my use of The Look, considering what I put up with."
- Melissa: "We're having lamb for dinner! And... other things! I think we're having a Jew-over!" [Passover]
Matthew was nicknamed "Peanut" by his mother shortly after birth. How shortly, we're not really sure anymore; within the first few sleep-deprived days is all we remember. Matthew never did go through that period of sleeping all the time that baby books tell you newborns are supposed to have. Since his first abnormally alert days he's just become more and more active, and at some point his uncle Grant conferred upon him the moniker Savage.
