Lots to blog, but in the mean time…

…our J has a cold. You know the kind that makes it hard to sleep? That I-can’t-breathe-and-don’t-like-to-breathe-through-my-mouth kind. No church for he and I tomorrow. We missed a chance to visit the zoo today but that was mostly due to weather. Instead we stayed inside and played with the camera. Always a silver lining!

A Birthday Present for J

So sorry, Lola, we thought you might have seen these on Facebook. We did go to the mailbox as soon as we knew there was a chance that the card would be in there. Turns out that was last Wednesday. The pirate isn’t the only happy one in this photo! Of course, we immediately sped [...]

Today

Sad? Yes. Very hurt tummy. But it was very much helped by a BIG breakfast with second seconds. I’m hoping that’s all it is because it won’t be fun to travel with a sick little boy. Been there, done that! *** This past weekend: ~ Happy Friday because Abba came home and we immediately headed [...]

Liquids!

So, inspired by an episode of DragonflyTV, J decided to do the recommended “Do It!” experiment. After all, he reasoned, we do have a little dropper. So we did. They asked the kids to try dropping different amounts of fluids, drop by drop, onto pennies and see how things came out. First was water: The [...]

Out of the Mouth of Babes

So today, in honor of my husband’s birthday, I am making a grapefruit pie for him based on a recipe we spied in a local magazine (I’ll post the recipe if it turns out ok). Yesterday, I prepped some pie dough and put it in the fridge and got ready to roll it out today. [...]

Somebody’s Five Today!

He asked for the special banner that says “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to be hung. He know’s he’s five which is one more than four. He didn’t listen when mom said “stop getting so big!” He says “I’m almost six!” He loves the cupcakes we made especially because he got to lick all the bowls. He’s looking [...]

To Remember

Dear J, You know, I have to write this down so that we can remember those wonderful things you do that remind me that you do love Jesus so much. Once again, you showed the generosity that God’s given you. God loves a cheerful giver and you are one! Miss J was so proud of [...]

J’s First Soccer Practice

Grandparents and all, photos and video are here. Today, after we finished with school, we headed out to Target to get J’s first pair of shin guards, cleats and socks. He was so excited! He helped pick out the shin guards (he had to chose between two) and then he tried on the cleats. He’s [...]

Funny Kid

We were on the way to the pool today when hubby was telling J something that J didn’t necessarily appreciate hearing. “UGH” said J. Hubby said something again. “UNGH!” said J. Hubby told him something else. “Dad! Try again, Dad!” By the way, if you haven’t been told before, make sure you refer to him [...]
