blessings in disguise

5 July 2006

praise: dave is off the next two days. dalton's cold seems to be clearing.

prayer: auburn is still sick. landon is scheduled for surgery on the 7th of August to have his tonsils and adenoids out. i must admit, this frightens me a bit.

playfulness: so much to tell. first off-why the title of this blog? the blessing in disguise has been auburn's sickness. while sick-she isn't destructive. soo... no changing of messy diapers, no piles of wipes in the living room, no water dumped all over the bathroom floor.... you get the picture.

last thursday, i walked out of the kitchen, picked up my phone and answered it, walked back in the kitchen and found auburn with her diaper off. i spoke to her, mentioned one more thing to the person on the phone, then she wetted the bench that she was standing on (and the floor, and her legs...) blessings...

last friday i was making a pie. i had just put the bottom crust in the plate, and-no joke-turned around for 5 to 7 seconds, only to look back at my crust and find a large hole out of the middle of it. i'm sure you can figure which one of my children would do such a thing at this stage of life.

landon had an interesting day today. we met up with one of my high school friends to let the kids play in the big fountain in flat rock (of course, it wasn't working today). i sent landon back to the van (25 feet away) to change out of his swim trunks. when i went to check on him, i noticed a big wet spot outside of the van. landon pointed at it and informed me that he had used the bathroom there. he had stood in the van door and did his thing onto the parking lot...-even better, this was the library parking lot. can you imagine walking out of a public library and looking up, only to see a little boy relieving himself? what would you think of that kid's mother?!? =)

dalton had his 2 month checkup on monday. here are his measurements: 14 lbs. 6 oz. 24 inches long. yes, he is bigger than landon was at this point-very scary-how big is he going to be?!?

now for pictures...

dalton is wearing an outfit that the radfords bought landon. (landon was named after pete radford).

while down in ohio we were able to celebrate the kids b-days with mom and jon. jon gave the kids curious george monkeys and a curious george story collection book. we've read from it many times. here's pics.
