Getting a head start on homework so he can take his time and we don't have worry about it. He's working hard. 

Time to sleep already. I slept most of the day away. Dotty is with me in the corner, waiting to say a quick good night. 

NJ keeps asking me: "How are you feeling?"
"Are you feeling better Mama?"
"Hope you feel better so you don't have to be sick."
I love how he looks out for me, so sweet. He drew me this picture to try to make me feel better. He said something about a policeman getting the criminal. 

Out front there is a three foot deep hole being dug. More plumbing problems, more headache, more money. Not good. At least our curious NJ got to learn about plumbing and was fully occupied for the afternoon. He even pulled up a chair to watch.

Baba made some corn and chicken soup for us for dinner. Sickness finally caught up to me, I was doing so well! So sad. Especially on our anniversary. The soup was yummy.

The boys played a game after dinner. There was so much giggling going on, I had to check it out. 

When NJ went to bed, Baba and I shared some sparkling cider. We clinked glasses and didn't linger so I don't get him sick. Maybe we can celebrate when I'm well again. 

"I missed you today too. I love to cuddle with you Mama."
I've never heard him say the word cuddle before. I always say snuggle. I just thought it was sweet that he wanted to sit with me and hold my hand. So sweet, I love it.

Baba and Ah-ma are both picking off the dead leaves to let the live ones grow. Mom is always helping us with stuff around the house. She's always teaching us about showing love through acts of service and having a servant's heart. 

And here comes the unofficial supervisor to tell them what to do and how to do it. Hee, hee. Actually, he was quite helpful too. The only one that wasn't helpful was me! 

Since he was being so helpful we also asked him to please give Dotty some food. He's getting a lot better at control and not overflowing his bowl with food. 

WMW at All People's

It's a chilly morning!

But it doesn't mean we're not excited about the morning service! 

It's 9:00 am and it's packed! I look over and there's our boy with his arm up praising God. Of coarse, I totally missed a photo of it, but he's excitedly bouncing up and down. So cute, I love it. 

Wish the weekend didn't have to end, it's too good! Time to bring it back to share. 

World Mandate West Day Two

How cute the boys are with their backpacks. It's going to be a packed day! 

It's a beautiful crisp day. We picnic by the fountain with food from the food trucks and talk about session one with the Reyes'. We asked him how his time was at his own kids conference. He was enthusiastically telling us about how Saul became Paul and how he was blinded. He continued, but I didn't quite catch all of it. That turned into his Uncle Jason and Auntie Marnie making fun of me for not getting it when clearly they understood him just fine. Sorry, NJ, Mama needs to be a better listener! 

NJ starts out by watching J on his phone. But watch how he works his way in until getting his phone completely...

Session two begins, NJ has possession of J's phone playing frog games. 

His phone eventually dies from playing on it so much! Sorry J, but thank you for being so loving and helping to entertain him. NJ was so preoccupied and glued to this phone! This is what happens when you deprive your child of electronics. Ha, ha. But since it is not ours and we have time for him to kill. We really thought he wasn't even listening to the speaker. I guess Frances Chan is just that interesting even to a five year old. He was randomly repeating things and answering questions that he'd ask. It made us and everyone around us laugh. Silly guy, he has quite the ear! If only he'd listen the first time when we ask him to do something. Selective hearing... 

Poor guy was pooped! We went to meet our friends for dinner and he was dead asleep in the car. I stayed with him for a bit while everyone went in to eat first. Eventually, I just had to wake him up otherwise, he'd take too long to eat (and so would I). 

Session three. The music is like having a concert every time, love it! 

Our minds are completely blown and the music was awesome! So much so that all of us were speechless. Lots of processing to do before we can gather our thoughts, talk about it, and pray about it! I'm just happy to have people I love here to share it with. I'm missing my girls from last year, Nicole and Jenny. And everyone that I tried to invite, but just didn't work out. Gotta try harder and pray harder for next year! Hopefully we'll have a whole group standing with us in years to come. Can't wait.
