Cute Cousins

Leah and Vanessa are so cute. Their personalities are so different but you can see a family resemblance. They both have short, sassy hair and they both love each other. Heidi and her family came to visit us this Sunday and the kids had so much fun getting reacquainted. The twins are getting old enough to have some fun on their own and they really got around. It was so fun to take Heidi to church with me and show her and her family off to my friends. I love it when family visits and I can show them off. I was also able to meet little Marcus for the first time. I know that Troy and Marcus are going to be great friends too. They both have Grandpa's ears! They will have so much fun hanging out at family things. I can't wait!

Things I've Learned...

Children are very trusting. Leah caught me eating a handfull of M&M's. She asked me what I was eating and in an effort to avoid sharing with her I told her I was eating "beans". At first she didn't believe me but I insisted. Today she has asked for some "beans" about three different times.
--Shaunie learned that humans are mammals, but Leah had a hard time grasping the idea. She ended up just calling her dad a "manimmal" instead.
--When Leah says "Mom, I'll hold it for you." She really means "Mom, I'll take that from you and eat it."
--You can take pictures of pictures with your digital camera (goodbye scanner!)

Nakie

We were on our way to get Sam from preschool a couple weeks ago (when the weather was nice) and a neighbor down the street was washing his car. He didn't have his shirt on because the sun was still pretty warm. Leah pointed at him as we walked by and said "Look Mommy, he is nakie!" She couldn't believe that someone would go out without clothing. How wrong! I tried to explain that he was just hot so he wasn't wearing his shirt, but she insisted that he was 'nakie'. Then she asked as if she had found the only solution, "Where's his mommy?"

GO to BED!

Last night we were coming home from an errand and Leah was really upset. She was missing her old, brown car seat (yes, the fact that it was brown was very important). She was whining like we had taken away her most beloved doll. Oh the injustice of giving her brown car seat away! She loved that car seat and now that was all she wanted in the whole world. After a while of listening to her whine Sam piped up, a little fatigued of her complaints and said, "Leah, just go to bed!" In quick retort and without skipping a beat, Leah replied "But I will just dream about my brown car seat!"
