October 2010

Dressing up for my costume day at work and for the Harvest Time Fun Night at church.

What will he ask me next??

Funny conversation with Isaac today......

Isaac: "Mommy, do bears and tigers poop?"
Me: "Ummm....yes...."
Isaac: "Do they poop in the grass?"
Me: "Yes.....all animals poop outside in the grass."
Isaac: "But we poop in the toilet, right?"
Me: "Yes!"
Isaac: "And we're God's sheep, right?"
Me: "Yes...."
Isaac: "So, when we're God's sheep, we poop in the grass?"
Me: "NO! We don't ever poop outside or in the grass!"
Isaac: "But, if we're God's sheep, we have to poop outside because we're sheep."
Me: "It's an analogy that we are sheep. It's kind of like pretend. We aren't REALLY sheep. God just calls us his sheep. So, we NEVER poop outside."
Isaac: "Oh....."

Fan From Day One!

We went to the first game for the Omaha Nighthawks football team last Friday. It was THE best game of any sport that I have ever been to. It was AWESOME! We have season tickets with two other couples from our church. I am looking forward to the next game this weekend!

Some recent videos of Malachi

Malachi eating his 1st birthday cake.

Malachi is finally crawling at 1 year old!

We went to the Hard Luck Diner in Branson, MO., and one of the waiters sang to Malachi. All of the waiters take turns singing while you eat.
