Funny Thoughts

Hope you all enjoy a view photos from our pumpkin trip to the Farmer's Market....

I've been a bit neglectful lately. I recently started new part-time job at our church and really enjoying it. However, adding more work to an already busy schedule just creates even more work and more of life to balance. I guess we all carry full plates though. A friend told me that at least starting a new job would help give me a different focus without obsessing/ nit picking the girls too much...how true that is!!

This past weekend, we spent the entire morning in our PJs enjoying some movie time with Greta Banks watching Cinderella. She really has only watched this one Disney movie, mainly because it's the only one I have! :-) At the end she asked, "Mommy, why are they holding hands." I told her that was something she could do when she was about 30 when she really loved someone (hey, we have to start early here.) She then said, "like when my teeth get big." "Yes darling, when your teeth get big." (We're obsessed with teeth, can you tell??) She then said, "When my teeth get big, I can have Coke, right mommy." I then questioned,"Would you like to hold hands or drink Coke?" "I would like to drink Coke mommy." Maybe I can still persuade her at the age of 16 with Coke to drink instead of dating. Who knows???

Baby Dedication and Broken Arm

What a world wind couple of weeks we've had. 2 weeks ago, we participated at a dedication ceremony at our church for Ella Claire. What an awesome responsibility we have to raise our girls to love God...what precious gifts!! It was a memorable experience and so honored to have our family there to support us!

This past Monday, I got a call from preschool saying Greta Banks' arm looked funny. She had fallen on the playground and to make a long story short, she ended up breaking it in 2 places as well as "buckle in the bone" (a strong in bend in the bone). So now we're 4 weeks in a hot pink cast from under her arm to her wrist! She still has her sense of humor. When the doctor walked in after reviewing her X-rays she asked GB what was her favorite color and GB replied, "why?" She wasn't going to be fooled. Surprisingly, it all went fairly smoothly and we're all adjusting to accommodate for her one good arm with dressing, clothing, bathing, etc. Never a dull moment around here.

My new favorite comment came while playing with her buddy Sawyer. Sawyer had been quite empathetic to the little one, with her cast and all. He was giving her a hug and Greta Banks commented, "you know you love me Saw!" Gotta love it, don't you!
