Camera time! (and quick update)

The kids love to play with their cameras.  Recently Mason got a toy camera from the dentist and this really spiked their interest in taking pictures and why we take pictures.  I took a couple of video clips with them talking about their cameras.  One interesting thing to note is how Mason pronounces camera.  Not sure what kind of accent that is! 

Speaking of accents, Olivier has been using a bit of a southern accent lately.  Not sure where he picked it up but it is very cute! 

Anna has started swim lessons at school (I know, horrible of me not to go and take pictures but probably better because she is participating a lot more than she would if I was there).  She really likes it and says she is learning to float on her back, blow bubbles, do monkey crawls, and a few other things.  She has another six weeks of lessons this summer which is a good use for all of her energy!

The kids have been growing like weeds!  Mason is about 37 and a half inches tall.  For comparison, that is how tall Anna was at her 3 year old checkup and he is 2 and a half.  He weights about a pound less than she does now (three more than she did at this height!).  And he shows no signs of stopping!  Olivier is on the slow and steady track but has reached a big milestone, he is now 36 inches tall.  Anna is now tall enough to reach all of our light switches (the are much higher than the standard height) which has been nice, now if she would just remember to turn them off too!
