Meggie is doing fine. She went through the terrible two's in a breeze but she 
wants to think she is boss. She is now calling "Martyyyy where are you?" 
until he goes nuts. She says waanna go upstairs, wanna peanut, wanna eat, bye 
bye see ya later momma gotta go to work, gimme a kiss, Winer pick up the 
phone and more. she is not fast in learning words but says what she likes the 
sound of. She knows what Shower means and ask for it. She is still a love and 
has turned out to be beautiful and she knows it. Still likes to give kisses 
and thinks if she gives one she is supposed to get something back like a 
treat. I could not have asked for anymore from her.
Marty is doing ok. 2 of the buggies have returned and they are watching them. 
I get nervous about them but if I dwell on it I will go nuts so just keep 
going. Hope they don't grow. He is so positive about it all and has adjusted 
so well. He gets tired easily but seems to do more then we expected so that 
is a plus. 
Good hearing from you. Take good care of the little ones. I know how much you 
love to feed and cuddle them.
