Hello, again

Well, I have been a very sporadic blogger over the last few weeks and I apologize. Without pictures to share, it is just not as fun. And, the camera battery is dead, so I don't have any pictures to share with you today. Tim has been home now for a week and life is glorious. You would not believe the change in my demeanor just to know that some other adult will be walking through the door at 6 o'clock. It's like night and day! Now, we are looking forward to the holiday!

Some funnies from recent weeks:

Ella - We were at a friend's house for dinner last week and she has a son who is a little younger than Ella. He is her only one, so he is not used to being around older kids. So, Ella was running the "circle" in their house around the staircase through the front room and living room and kitchen. The mom asked the little boy to follow Ella or chase her ( I can't remember) So, Ella takes off and he kind of stops and looks at us like what am I supposed to do and she comes around the corner, stops right in front of us and says "I won". Can you tell she has older siblings who are slightly competitive.

Isaiah - He has developed a crush on a little girl in his class named Elliot. He told me that he is going to marry Elliot when he gets older. And, he told Tim last night that he doesn't like another little boy in his preschool class because he "ALWAYS" plays with Elliot.

Alyssa - We were playing charades a couple nights ago and Alyssa was on the bed in the bonus room. She kept standing up and emphatically falling right back down. She kept at it for a few minutes and We finally gave up and she said "I was a person in a wheel chair who kept trying to stand up, but kept falling down." I thought we were going to die laughing. First of all, that was SO on the tip of our toungue and second, there is something very politically incorrect about it that makes it hilarious.
