8/9/10 Kaia: "Oh Mama! This bread smells enchanting!" (Boudin bread on 10th Avenue, which can be smelled on the whole block of the library.)
8/23/10 Mari: "Going to Grandma and Papa's is better than opening a package!"
12/1/10 Mari: "What's an iridescent moon?" (On the road in Costa Rica...)
Kaia: "I need to be free."
Mari: "You're the best Mama in the whole world!" (Could hear that forever and not get tired of it!)
Kaia at bedtime 3/30/11: "Mama, I'm just thinking of so many plans! Like when I turn 9, we can go to Costa Rica for my birthday and stay for 2 or 3 months. ... Let's go to bed though. We can talk more in the morning." (Yes, we can :)
Mari: "Life is dirty sometimes." (10/26/11)
