Happenings

Just a few things going on with us...

*Josiah walked over to Aunt Sarahs today on a mission for me. It was his first time going it alone thru the woods and back again. The dogs were his companions and I watched with tearful eyes as my "little baby" was so grown up and did it "all by yerself".


* We got Super Mario Brothers from my Sister and Bro-in-law for the Wii for Christmas and have consequently not made it to bed before midnight for the last 4 nights. I have never laughed so hard or had so much fun! Thanks Kate!

* My In-laws leave for Morocco in less than two weeks! It is hard to believe that our bulging house will be down to just the five of us. It is going to be so quiet and boring...which I confess is both a blessing and a sadness.

*Our new favorite lunch treat - Tortilla Pizzas. Tortilla, Ketchup, Cheese, a dash of Oregano. Toasted on the stove with a bit of olive oil. Yum.

Also can be enjoyed "Mom" style.

Ranch. Mozzarella, tomatoes, blue cheese & Oregano. Double yum.

*I am in desperate need of a pedicure. I had to take off my nail polish at the hospital when I had William. Now I look at my sad little toes and while I remember the blessing of having my third son, I also think to myself "sad, sad little toes". Maybe Saturday I'll slip away.

*William's temporary nick names are: Coo-Coo-A, Num-Num, and Lummy Lu. Benson also affectionately calls him "Bay-bee", While Josiah likes to stick to "Will-Yum"

*Things generally are good, 2010 is off to a great start and we are feeling abundantly blessed. It doesn't get any better than that! How has 2010 started out for you?

These darn kids keep growing up. I stayed with Allison last night while Mark & Joani went to dinner. She is so tall and almost standing by herself! Now yours going off on missions on his own. Slow down kids!!!
Can't wait to see you! Our 2010 is starting off about the same as most years. Mostly relieved to be done with December!!!
