I think Nathan is the only little one I know who looks “FORWARD” to go to bed. In fact, he watches the clock when he’s tired and it doesn’t matter what the actual hour is when the little hand gets down to the 6 he says it’s time for bed. …

For those who don’t already know, Nathan (our 4 yo) was lost for awhile this morning. Many thanks to those of you who were up early this morning to see this prayer request and pray! Whew. I hope to never feel so helpless again in my life! Several of you …

Of course, I’ve given Nathan the 3rd degree 1o0 times today. Why didn’t you just stay in the house?Why didn’t you go look for Emily?Why would you think we would leave you home alone? Why didn’t you just stay in the house and wait for the phone to ring – …

So… you saw all of the questions I asked Nathan in the post above. Here’s what happened from his perspective. He came downstairs and said “morning mom” just like he always does and when I didn’t answer him he came around the corner to my desk and didn’t see me …

Nathan was dressed in his COAT and sandals when we went to Emily’s baptism… BRRRRR… He insisted his feet weren’t cold. We don’t need umbrellas around here very often. Fortunately, I had cleaned out the back porch recently enough to know exactly where we had one (LOL)!.

First things first you know (LOL)! Nathan HAD to have some goggles because his sisters always wear goggles when they swim. Of course, they were in synchronized swimming for most of his life (LOL). When you take “regular” swimming lessons, you don’t wear goggles. It wasn’t very easy convincing him …

KID QUOTE: Tater: What comes after the letter /i/Mom: /j/ Tater: What comes after the letter /t/Mom: /u/ Tater: ME?Mom: Not “you” it’s /u/ Tater: Me?Mom: No /u/ pronouncing the “uh” sound for /u/ this time Tater: Huh?Mom: Pick a diferent letter (LOL).

For those who don’t already know this our oldest daughter, Amanda, moved out today. I’ll blog more about that later when I can see straight again… it’s hard to type when your eyes keep filling up to the point where you can’t see and your nose keeps dripping onto your …
