"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."-Emerson

One Word

Debbie recently learned the words to "I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" and she loves to sing it. She gets almost all the words right, the only word she misses is the very last word. So instead of singing, "His truth I will proclaim!" she sings, "His truth I will profane!" Kindof a big difference!

A Conversation

As we were driving today we had this conversation with Debbie...
Debbie: Daddy, why is your hand on the steering wheel?
Chad: Because that's how I tell the car where to go.
Debbie: Oh. Well who tells you where to go?
Chad: Mommy
Debbie: [pause] Noooo, that's silly.
Leah: Nope, that's about right.
And yes, we're spelling Debbie's name with an 'i' again. She put it back in there all by herself and she did it because that's how her grandma spells her name. I think it's very sweet. So, it's Debbie with an 'i' again. ☺
And then later when we were at Chad's dad's house, Isaac was afraid of the dogs and was worried about them so I told him to tell grandma to put the dogs away, so he went running to find her yelling, "Grandma, throw away the dogs! Throw away the dogs, grandma!"

Isaac B-day Party





We had Isaac's Birthday Party yesterday and it was a lot of fun! It was pretty low-key, I'm not an all out kindof mom, but I thought it turned out well. We had a good mix of family and friends and Isaac got a lot of cool presents. We're so grateful for everyone who showed up to support him! He was so thrilled and happy to be the center of attention, it was fun to see.

Happy Birthday Isaac!

I can't believe another year has come and gone, Isaac turns 4 this month! We sure love this kid. He enjoys being silly and likes to be the center of attention now, but he's still a pretty chill kid. He's very spatially oriented, he describes everything in shapes. Today, for example, he was eating Pringles and wanted more so he asked for some more 'humpy things.' He loves to do puzzles and enjoys playing with his cars and trains and blocks, pretty much anything boy. :) It's hard to believe that someone who started off so little is now in the 90% for height! We love you Isaac!
