We have liftoff!

The B-man is crawling everywhere! I'd explain more, but we're too busy baby-proofing the house! No time to type!

Prayer request from Iraq

andy Originally uploaded by emmegab . Via Jenny: Anyway, just a quick prayer request from [Andy]. With the elections on Sunday, there has been a regimental order for a post-wide prayer service at 8 p.m. Saturday night. If you think about it, won't you please take a few minutes on Saturday (noon, EST) and join with them? I am confident that God can do miraculous things on Sunday, and will be praying to that end.

Vocabulary update

1. M: Stummy --where food goes when you eat it (stomach + tummy, apparently) 2. Last week Cuz L looked at the sprinkling of freckles across her Aunt Susan's nose and said: " Polkadots!"

He's a thoughtful boy, but...

We've been encouraging potty training, so we've been fairly open with our own, umm, potty habits. This morning I was enjoying some solitude of my own in the bathroom, and M walked in. "Oh, hi. You read one of my books, daddy?" Before I could say "no, thanks," he walked out. 15 seconds later he was back with a thick book of nursery rhymes. "Here you go, daddy," he said as he plopped it on my lap and left, closing the door. So next time you visit our house, you may want to make sure and lock the door unless you think you might need reading material delivered.

Conquering fears 101

M, in reference to his favorite book of the week, Where the Wild Things Are: "I'm scared about it." Five minutes later, he was reciting it while we looked at the pictures, and he was cracking up.

More verses, written last night by M

Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt, Yogurt, Everywhere, God made some yogurt. Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Pasta, Everywhere, God made some pastaaaahhhhhhhh (breath) aaahhhhhhhhhh.

Introducing the Snow Song

Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Everywhere, God ... made .. the ... snow. by M. (Hey, if Elton John can replace Marilyn with Diana as The Candle in the Wind and everybody pretends it's a new song, then M can certainly replace Soy with Snow. And to be clear, Soy was in 4/4 time; Snow is in 3/4. Also, it's in a different key.)
