CRITICAL THINKING
THE OTHER NATIONAL DEFICIT

Happy Sadness

Most people are overjoyed when their children start eating solid food. Don't get me wrong, the idea of being able to leave for more than 2 hours at a time has its benefits, but it is also a little bit sad. This means she is growing up, she is not longer the baby who entered this world just 6 short months ago. I know it sounds odd, but up to this point it has been ONLY MY BODY that has nourished her from a tiny little egg to his 20+ lbs pile of giggles and rolls. How amazing is that?

But this little girl continues to be completely opposite of her brother and has taken to food with a passion. She loves it all, sippy cups, teething biscuits, applesauce, chicken and whatever else we give her too...

Teething biscuit... sorry for the basketballs little girl!


Love.

Um, dad... what is this stuff?

Okay, I guess it was good.

Meet Evangeline

Meet Evangeline. Evangeline sits next to me in choir. Evangeline is my choir buddy. Evangeline had a birthday. Evangeline loves birthdays. Evangeline also loves pineapple. So, here is the present I got Evangeline for her 16th Birthday. The End. :)

IMHO: Hide 'em In Your Heart

If you have small children and don't have these CD's you need to go out and buy them! (Or at least go to Amazon.) We have all 3 of the CDs and love each of them!

What I like about them is that each song is simply a bible verse put to music, nothing more, nothing less. I grew up listening to them and I can still sing "without complaining, without arguing... do, do everything!" (Now it is just a matter of putting it into practice :-P). Ben remembers everything and he is absorbing so much... so it is just one little way I can put "good stuff" in without much effort... and it is good for my soul too!

Naomi: 6 Months

Everything seems to fly by faster with the second one! Naomi is already 6 months old! At her 6 month appointment she weighed in at a whopping 19lb 13oz. Despite being so much bigger than Ben she is keeping us if not doing better than his when it comes to crawling. She has been moving backward for a few weeks but now is going forward and can get almost everything she wants (for which I am thankful, I find the "i-want-it-but-don't-know-how-to-get-it-because-I-can't-move-yet" stage rather frustrating.)

This little girl continues to delight us with all her smiles and he also loves to eat! She will try just about anything... although she is not a fan of apple sauce and sweet potatoes (aren't those like the two baby staples?)

Friends

Yesterday my wonderful friend Adele came over... brought us lunch... AND brought me dinner... complete with oatmeal cookies... she is awesome. Naomi also got a friend to play with for a while... Silas is 4 months older, about 4 lbs lighter and moves about 4x as fast. I think they will become fast friends... look... they are already sharing Mr. Potato Head! :-P

My Street

I love my street... especially in the fall. :)

Boy with Stick

An entire hour... just a stick and leaves.

Why do we spend money on toys again???? :)
