Anyone in the mood to get frustrated? My sister Danielle has me addicted to rubix cube, and since I don't own one I've been trying it online. I actually solved her "real" rubix cube TWICE. Thank heavens for the instructions that spell it out for you and my ever so patient sister for going over it with me a million times. I have not solved the online rubix cube yet. It doesn't seem to like me very much.

Successful Sunday
Owen stayed in Sunday School today. We were so proud of him. Now we just have to work on Cameryn staying in the Nursery without us.
It was our turn to work in the Nursery this morning, and let me just say having to change other people’s toddlers’ poopy diapers should be outlawed. It’s just plain gross. Also, every time someone came in or left the poor kids got their hopes up that their parents were there. It’s all good though cause we have some really cute kids at our church and we had a pretty good morning.

Let the conversations begin!
Owen: "I’m not talking to you Mommy. I’m talking to Cameryn." "Cameryn, how many elephants can hang in a tree?"
Cameryn: "(Incoherent noise) I don’t know!"
The kids are discovering the fine art of talking to each other. The other day Owen was asking Cameryn question after question and each time she would laugh and say no. Now if we could just get her to reply to his knock-knock jokes.

Love
We were going through all of our paperwork and memorable for the kids the other night trying to get it organized and I came across this card we got when Cameryn was born.
"I heard that an angel showed up at your house, dressed up in a baby disguise. With soft, dimpled cheeks, irresistible "coos", and starlight and hope in her eyes…Though she traded her wings for her ten baby toes and her halo is now just a curl, may all her days bring you heaven on earth – your beautiful, sweet baby girl."
I get so wrapped up in my kids. Sometimes I feel as if no one could ever love them more than I do, but I am blessed to have constant reminders of all the people who love my children right along with me. I never could have imagined my kids loving each other as much as they do. That is one of my most unexpected rewards of parenting.
We thank all of you very much for loving our kids with us.

Cameryn's 18-month Check Up
Cameryn had her 18-month check up today and all is well. She weighed 26 pounds 12 ounces, which is in the 80th percentile. Her height is 33 inches, which is in the 85th percentile. Her head size is 19 ¼ inches, which is in the 95th percentile. She got three shots. She did very well with her shots. The normal screech with the injections and wiggling to get up. Once she was sitting up she was ready to run around naked again. She loves being "nakey", and will come up to us and request to be "nakey". She enjoyed showing off for the Nurse Practitioner, wanted to lead the way down the hall, and enjoyed a drink from the drinking fountain.
Here are Owen’s 18-month check up stats. He weighed 27 pounds, his height was 33 ½ inches, and his head size was 19 inches.

Forgiveness
Owen used to sleep in pretty good but about a year ago we noticed that he was getting more and more upset each morning when daddy wasn't there. So each morning before leaving for work Sean wakes Owen up and gets him ready just so Owen can say good morning. Every once in a while Sean needs to leave early in the mornings and he'll let Owen sleep in.
"Daddy you weren’t home when I woke up. You were at work."
"Sorry, I thought you’d want to sleep."
"Oh, that’s ok. Hey, I forgave you. I’m like God because God forgives people."

Guidance
"The word “dance” being a part of the word guidance is about how dancing is like doing God’s will. Two people dancing are not struggling with each other; one leads and the other willingly follows. When the two become a team, their movements flow in harmony with each other. Looking at the word, G is representing God and then U and I. So guidance is about God, you, and I dancing together.
When you are willing to trust and believe, guidance comes. I believe the rhythm we should all be dancing to comes from our Creator. It allows us to move as a team while creating our unique dance of life."
