Breaking the Eye Wall

   After dinner, Max and Deanna watched Tv while the four played in the area they had made for them to play. It was just a corner of the room, but it held all the toys for the two older girls and Henry. Michelle sat in her bouncy car and would jump and get mad at the others if they took her plastic teething keys. They were her favorite thing to chew on and often throw at her parents when they displeased her too much by not hurrying with her bottle.Michelle was the one of the four who had a temper. At least as an infant she still had one when someone displeased her. Often the only thing that would get her out of one of her moods was either a bottle or Max talking to her. She would smile at him with her toothless grin and her whole face would light up when he spoke to her and told her about the elves she must have come from. Deanna could see herself

Max and Deanna had one more stop to make before they went back home for the rest of the day.
