1.2.10



I just got an email from Tina and enjoyed it so much that I decided to
just post it on our blog! Tina...I hope you don't mind.

Hi Jay and Steph-
Just wanted to say thank you so much for letting Lily and me come hang out last weekend. We loved your blog entry, and wanted to email you copies of photos too. So, sorry about the multiple emails.
You'll be glad to know that my stomach returned to normal and Lily's nose cleared up the day after we got home (of course), I did find Lily's sippy cup lid in the middle of my luggage, I did finally remove the tag (our address) off Lily's diaper bag, and I have been pondering on the deep meaning behind a little boy running to win shoes... so life is pretty much back to normal.
Jayson- McKinnon loved your picture, thinks robots are even cooler now, and thinks that you need to get into legos. It is his new obsession! Aidan- Lily sure had a good time. Charlie- you stay healthy now, OK.
Thanks again for showing me around- I will be dreaming of Amish pretzels for some time to come I think, and the thought of crab cakes have been making my mouth water for days. We are keeping our spare room clean in hopes that you guys will use it some day- you are always welcome to come stay- Steph, I'm serious about the "I'll watch your kids while you hang out with your sister" thing. Anytime! Hope you guys are great!
Lots of love,
Tina
P.S. Steph- can I get your recipe for the yummy curry dish you made??? I'd love to have it! Thanks!

Rocket Experiment :(

I can't wait for Aidan to learn the Haka in New Zealand. Hopefully it will prove to be an effective way for him to release aggression, and he can stop throwing balls at my head.

feel like dancing?

Jayson singing "The World is So Big"

In case you have trouble understanding...

The world is so big and oh, so round
And even God's creations are almost so found.
Brothers and sisters and trees so tall,
animals big and animals small.
The world is so big and oh, so round
And even God's creations are almost so found...
etc, etc.

The correct words are:
The world is so big and oh, so round
And in it God's creations are found.
Mountains and valleys and trees so tall,
Animals big and animals small.
The world is so big and oh, so round
God loves us all, His blessings abound

A Photographer in the Making

Jayson loves taking pictures! He took most of these while we were on vacation in Washington and a few at home. I love that he takes pictures of himself. He then asks me to show them to him and he giggles a little when he sees what terrific shots he's gotten.
