Out of the Mouths of Babes

The other night while putting Keith down to bed he asked about the baby. We were a slightly surprised since he has acted completely oblivious to everything we have told him about her. We talked a bit about his new little sister and then asked him what we should call her.

He was quiet for a moment and then said

"Toys."

That's my boy.


When someone asks a hard question, just say the thing you like most in the world.

Lol, reminds me of when for a birthday I would be asked what I wished someone and would reply whatever I thought was in the present given me. I guess I thought I was supposed to guess what was inside! Silly me!

Sammy isn't helping much with a name either... But she loves to kiss and hug the baby... She will even rub my tummy and sing to my belly... I think she is only copying daddy but its still too cute... "little sister" loves to kick and play with Sammy while she is snuggling me for or after her nap... What a stinker the all ready pester each other... oh goodness I'm in for fun with two...

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really.

We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me.

Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?"
Lowes: "What's that?"
"A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short."
"Is that like a brand of baseboard?"
"Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling."
"Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?"
"Tile?"
"To go along the ceiling, right?"
"Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."
"I hav…

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight.

We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven.

The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting.

We talked about the children.  
We talked about school.
We talked about our rental house.
And our plans for the future.
As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening.

More so me.
Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly.

While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships.

Last night was a perfect example.
We received the news.

The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news.

And it came in the form of an email from a good friend.


And reality s…
