Jim: “Jimmy, see the guys in black and yellow? We’re rooting for them.”
Jimmy: “Dad, could you believe that ref’s bogus call?”
Jimmy: “What was Roethlisberger thinking with that pass?”
Jim: “Oooh, this is getting exciting!”
Jimmy: “What a nail-biting finish!”
Jim: “Touchdown Steelers!” In the words of my sister, these are two “goofy little munchkins”!
You know you’re smitten with a baby when you can’t decide which picture in a series of nearly identical pictures is the cutest!
(He’s not quite strong enough to sit alone in the Bumbo yet, but I think he’ll like it once he can!) My trick-or-treaters!
We were so grateful we could observe the storm from within our warm, well-lit home!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! As of Tuesday morning, we still have power and no apparent damage to our property. However, much of the surrounding area is in the dark and some people are still losing power now, so I’m keeping those flashlights handy! We’re praying for those affected by the devastation…may the Lord encourage and protect those along the coast especially. We’re battoning down the hatches here in Connecticut in preparation for Hurricane Sandy. It’s hard to believe it was exactly this time last year that we were hit with the freak snowstorm that cancelled Halloween and left us without power for well over a week. Now we’re facing potentially similar power outages if the forecasters are correct. Thankfully it’s much warmer this year than last, so at least we won’t be wearing three layers of clothes to bed! Jim went out for one last supply run this afternoon, and came back with an extra treat for the girls: their very own princess sleeping bags! Now the girls are HOPING the power goes out so we can “camp out” in the RV this week. I’m hoping some of their enthusiasm rubs off on me! So if I don’t update any blog posts for a while, you can just envision us cuddled together in the RV, making our dinners in the microwave and sleeping cheek-to-cheek. Family bonding time, here we come!
Clutching her backside: “My bum has a tummy ache.” After returning from Arizona: “Connecticut is happy to have us back.” Gesturing with her thumb over her shoulder where her sibling was disobeying: “Mama, you don’t want to see this!” After Jim asked her how often she prayed: “Twenty miles a day!” When she wanted me to leave the room, she told me: “Go cook.” Looking at herself in the mirror: “We’re getting taller, and Jimmy is getting lower.” After I told her to be careful to not fall while she was roughhousing with her sister: “We won’t fall! We’re great!” While we were sitting in the family room and Susie nearly impaled her brother with a pencil, I told her to take the pencil into the kitchen. She reluctantly obeyed (after several scoldings), and then stomped back in and informed me: “Mama, I want to make decisions.” I told her that I was in charge. After sulking a few minutes, her eyes brightened and she ran into the kitchen in the direction of the pencil. I asked her what she thought she was doing, and she cheerfully replied, “I know! I’m pretending the family room IS the kitchen!” |
