Keith's Prediction


Keith is warming up to the fact he is going to have a little sister.

Sunday my sister in law gave me some baby clothes. She has two girls, so she had lots to share. As I was sorting through them that night, Keith patted the pile of clothes and said "Baby sister's!" with no prompting from either of us.

He has begun to watch babies more closely whether they be on a cartoon or a doll or real.

During lunch today Keith rubbed my tummy and looked up at me with his huge blue eyes. He had a smudge of dirt on his nose which made his eyes look bluer and larger.

"Baby coming, Mommy. Baby coming." He told me.

And I can't help but wonder what he means by that. Does he mean today? I know she is coming soon. But could he possibly know when she will join us? After all he said it so earnestly, and little children are known to be more in tune with the spiritual things.

Keith's prediction: "Baby coming."

I guess time will tell! Twice when I was pregnant I had little kids tell me things like "you have a baby in your tummy" and this was before we had told anyone.

Have you seen that show "Bedtime stories" with Adam Sandler? If not, then basically the plot is that everything the kids say come true. So it just reminded me of that show. I love the beautiful leaf colors. Ours might be changing next month I think.

THAT would be a story, if he predicted it like that. I hope he comes today! Or maybe he knows instinctively it will be very, very soon...

I love that picture if Keith. I meant to get some of the girls but alas, the yard people came and took away all the leaves yesterday. I'll have to wait until more fall.

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."

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.

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven. After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired. 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
