Good Morning Sunshine

This morning I was standing in front of our kitchen window, doing the dishes of course. I said out loud, "Good morning sunshine!" I heard Adrie behind me say, "Um . . . sunshine . . . you kind of bug my eyes a little . . . "

Andy got a hold of a blue marker

Adrie

"Mom, when I grow up I want to be a doctor. Or My Little Pony."

Ice Cream for Adrie

My cousin Jodi went to Costco today with her daughters PJ and Christine, and Adrie. While they were in line for ice cream, Adrie asked what kind they were going to get. (hoping for strawberry, which is her favorite) Jodi told her that is would be chocolate and vanilla swirl. Adrie thought for a few seconds, then replied, "I don't think my Mom wants me to have squirrel ice cream."

Ephesians 3:12-19

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.
. . . When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Adrie's Picture

Doesn't he have a sneaky look on his face? And I'm guessing he must have incredible hearing.

New Hair

Adrie's been bugging me to have a pink stripe in her hair. So here's what a little food coloring and vinegar can do.

Adrie's Chapstick

I found Adrie in the bathroom this afternoon. She said, "Mom, I put on some of Andrew's chapstick." Knowing that Andrew doesn't own any chapstick, I said, "Oh really? Show me what you put on." So she went to the cupboard and what she pulled out was Andrew's tube of Butt Paste diaper ointment. Yuck!

Climbing

Not an uncommon place to find Andrew . . .

Adrie . . .

A: "Mom, I love you more than ice cream . . . "

Me: "Thanks, how nice."

A: " . . . except chocolate."

Reading a Book

Isaiah 45:18

For the Lord is God,

and he created the heavens and earth

and put everything in place.

He made the world to be lived in,

not to be a place of empty chaos.

“I am the Lord,” he says,

“and there is no other."

Last night's "sleep"

10:00 PM: Alicia asleep
12:30 AM: Marshall tossing and turning. "My throat hurts, and I feel feverish." I felt his forehead, and he was cool as a cucumber. I went back to sleep.
2:00 AM: Adrie at my bedside sniffing in my ear. "My nose hurts" . . . sniff sniff. So I got up and gave her some nose spray, a drink of water, "I'm hungry," and a couple crackers. And started her vaporizer.
3:45 AM: Andrew wakes up fussing. Fell asleep feeding him. Woke up at 4:15 AM, and put Andrew back in his bed.
5:45 AM: Marshall's alarm goes off.

So much for sleeping. :)

I don't know where this came from . . .

Every now and then I'll watch Regis & Kelly in the mornings. (rarely) But every time I do, Adrie always says to me while pointing at Regis, "Mom, that man has a cracker-face."

???

I had to laugh at Adrie's tutu stuck in the back of her multi-layered skirt/shorts combo, along with her unmatched socks and leg-warmers. You can't tell from the back, but she had a green shirt layered underneath her blue one. She has a style of her own these days!



We thought Andrew was being a little too quiet . . .
