Swimming and Snow?

Our friend Bev invited us to be her guests at the Y on Friday to go swimming. At first when I told Owen he said that he was not going swimming. So I was a little nervous, but he did great. The Grandmas kept Cameryn, otherwise it probably would have been impossible. When we first got there he looked in the window at the pool and his face lit up. "I can't wait, I can't wait!" I ran into a few friends who have memberships. So Krista, Angie, and Caroline if you ever want a date for the pool give us a call!

A newborn's conversation with God

A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.''And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.''Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.''But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.'At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Recycling old fascinations

Owen hasn't been interested in The Wiggles for awhile, but they're back! So far this morning The Wiggles have gone to the store, called Owen to let them know when they'd be back, returned home from the store, put their groceries in the fridge, and performed a show. Here it is 9:30 am and The Wiggles have accomplished more than I have today! It's fun to watch Owen have good old fashioned fun. Has anyone had the privilege of watching "The Upside Down Show"? Owen loves it and is learning a lot about using his imagination from Shane and David.

We went to Barnes and Nobles at Jefferson Pointe Wednesday. They have a little porch type area in the kids section and Owen enjoyed putting on a show on the "stage". He is so creative, goofy, but creative. We even called Sean the other morning so Owen could sing "My Dad's The Man", an original arrangement by Owen.

Cam's Letters and Numbers

Lately Cameryn has been saying "s" "o" a lot. Today I noticed she was saying it while pointing at letters on the side of a diaper box. I grabbed the camera to catch a movie of it but once she realized what I was doing she stopped. So, either Sean's correct and she's using profanity (she adds an "a" to the beginning of her "s") or maybe she's in the early stages of letter recognition. She's also a very lovely counter. Please excuse her "nakey"ness, but she loves to take off her clothes.

Rubix Cube online

http://www.rubiks.com/cube_online.html

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.
