Soup

Molly calls her swimming suit her ’soup.’

Like this Molly!

In the van today, Clara was raising her arms up and clapping her hands above her head. Molly, sitting in the car seat next to her, thought it looked fun and tried it herself…problem is, her short little arms don’t reach all of the way around her toddler head yet! She had to settle for patting her head

Going Grey…and it’s Okay

Heather — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 05:25:30 +0000

I’ve noticed a few grey hairs on my head lately. You’d think I might be feeling a little upset. On the contrary, I feel kind of cozy and excited… I started noticing them on Nic a while ago. (He is cool, because he’s getting them in his eye brows and sideburns!) The fact that we are happily married and getting grey hairs together feels nice to me. Love you Nic! My plan is go grey naturally – no hair dye. We’ll see how that goes.

When I’m a Daddy…

Talmage said, “When I’m a daddy, I’m going to order a little girl with curly hair just like Molly.”

Gum Drink

Molly saw the root beer on the table this evening, but with her limited vocabulary, kept pointing at it and saying “Num! Dnk!” (Translation: “Gum! Drink!”)

We should be better than dinosaurs.

I just told the kids, “Sorry for loosing my temper. I shouldn’t have yelled.” Clara then said, “Ya, cause you should be better than dinosaurs – hehe!” Too true.

You’re Short Pudding!

Nic told Talmage that we were eating Yorkshire pudding. “You’re Short Pudding?!” he exlaimed.

Chapter Scrolls

Heather — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:50:27 +0000

In church today, Brooklyn learned that the ‘books’ when Jesus was alive were called scrolls and looked like rolled up pieces of paper. Brooklyn raised her hand and asked, “Did they have chapter scrolls?” (Like the chapter books she is reading in school – hehe)

Our poor van…Munched!

Heather — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:51:17 +0000

I slammed on my breaks, but it was too late and we hit the big yellow Ford 350 truck in front of us. Scary! (Nic was at home with the three bigger kids.) Holly was in the passenger seat – she said she is fine. Aubrey and Molly were in the back. They started crying right away, but were not hurt other than small abrassions on their necks from their carseat seat belts. (When I first looked back at Aubrey, I thought her mouth was bleeding. It turns out, it was just red licorice that I saw in her teeth!) A paramedic checked them both out – said they looked fine, but to watch for anything unusual in the next 24 hours. My neck now hurts quite a bit (more so now than when we initially hit). This just compounded the troubles I already have in my neck I think. I called my chiropractor at home and he was kind enough to adjust me, even though it was a Saturday.
The driver of the yellow truck and his wife were very kind. (I think the collision may have bent their back bumber.) They had Irish accents, and were very good to work with He told me and the officer that a line of cars in front of them had all stopped short. No one was issued a ticket.
The whole front of the van is munched. Undrivable. We will know more about what will be happening in regards to getting it fixed after the adjustor has a look at it on Tuesday.

Summer-tary

Talmage: Good thing it’s almost summer so we can go to the summer-tary.
