One Thing - 10/8/13

                                      

It's fire safety week at preschool. Yesterday, Jonah made a paper fire hat at school. When he got                 home, he made one just like it for Heezy. They are ready to fight fires!

                    We dug out the box of Halloween costumes this afternoon...I think the bunny

                                                                 Is a little too big

To make up for yesterday...

Sometimes outdoor toys become a drum set

One Thing - 10/4/13

Our copy of Five Little Pumpkins is getting lots of use again. Lydia has now discovered the book and wants it read to her many, many times a day. I think I already read it at least 8 times this morning! I am not sure what has drawn our children to this book, but I would guess that this is book in our collection that we have read the most times. Lydia particularly likes the cat on the last page. Jonah used to love the "oooooooo went the wind" line. And, Silas really liked when we whispered the last word "sight."

One Thing - 10/3/13

I haven't taken many pictures the past few days, but here are a few things about today...

1. Lydia took 2-3 shuffling, unbalanced baby steps tonight. We all clapped. She got REALLY excited. And, she wouldn't do it again.

2. Parenthood starts in 15 minutes. It is the one TV show we watch. It makes me cry every week. But, I really like it a lot.

3. I have been trying for 3 days to log in to the health insurance exchange. Up until a minute ago, I could get absolutely nowhere with it. Then, I was really happy because I got a screen saying I was ready to start filling out our application. And, I was disappointed again to receive yet another message saying that the system is down....hmmm, not such a great start.

Tonight as we were taking turns praying for someone else in our family, Silas prayed for Jonah. He was repeating what Mike said, and this is how it went:

M: Dear God

S: Dear God

M: Thank you for my brother.

S: Thank you for my brudder.

M: Help him to be wise and love you.

S: Help him to love me.

M: Help Jonah be a kind and loving brother.

S: Yes.

M: In Jesus name

S: Amen
