Favorite Lines

Wow! The weekend is almost at an end, we have sent Justin and Leah and family on their way home and taken Grandma back to the lodge. Baby Paisley is going to be the best groomed, best dressed, best fed, and best travelled baby around after the beautiful shower that Caleb and Leisha's friends held yesterday afternoon. The shower was well attended and the organizers spared no effort. Beautiful!

A few of my favorite lines from the weekend -

After I asked Justin whether there was anything he could see that was missing from their room that they might need  - without skipping a beat his response was - a hot tub.

We have moved Kenny downstairs. On coming upstairs about noon on Saturday morning he stated that it would have been much easier to sleep if the 'defensive line for the Miami Dolphins' hadn't been practicing right over his head (this was in reference to the 'pitter patter' of 'not so little' feet). Forrest continues to be a gentle giant who is off the charts for growth and weight, as well as 'cuteness factor'.

Keiran is into money right now, he is figuring it all out. He went shopping with his Mom for baby Paisley's shower gift and helped pick out several items. He made a homemade card for the shower and there is a story to what is written on the inside of the card. On the way out of the store he found a penny, he was thrilled and felt rich indeed. He considered the penny and then gave it to his Mom with the instructions that she should give it to Leisha for baby Paisley from him and to tell her to use it to buy her whatever she wants.

Lilly loves the play food that we have at our house and I had added some plastic lap trays that the kids could use for art or eating or playing. Lilly involved Leah in her make believe, having Leah play the role of the child requiring a meal and Lilly playing the role of Mom. Leah was being very difficult, using every excuse she has ever heard as to why she didn't want to eat what was on her plate (stated in a very whiney voice) and Lilly was losing patience with her. She said 'I'm getting your father'. With this she whipped on a pair of glasses, changed her voice and there was an immediate transformation to the no nonsense father who quickly brought things under control, stating  - 'you start eating now, young lady, it's good for you'.

Keiran was looking for quiet toys to take to church. He is becoming very imaginative and has an array of stuffed animals at home that have different personalities. He found a fuzzy stuffed alligator and brought it to me telling me - 'he doesn't really want to go to church but he's going anyway. I told him I won't let him get lost'.

I could go on and on but I hope these provided a few smiles.

Take care everyone.
