praise: korea hasn't met their quota of children allowed to be released; which means my sister may still get her baby this month!!!!

praise: both kids are feeling/sounding better. i was able to do a couple of hours of part-time work this weekend.
prayer: dave has an exam on friday. baby phillip (my sister's adopted son-6 mo-still in korea) burnt his hand by grabbing a burner last week. we don't know all of the details, but please pray that he gets proper medical care, and that his hand heals well.
playfulness: on the 4th, auburn picked up her pacifier and put it in her mouth.
today, auburn sat on the floor all by herself-not even any pillows! she's getting sooooo big. hard to believe that she is almost six months old.
landon is infatuated with running in circles in the living room. he has been obsessing with this activity all day. he even persuaded me to do it with him a few times. i'm sure we were an amusing sight.
began dave's birthday celebrations yesterday. his birthday is a week from today. thankfully, he loved his gifts yesterday (as if there was doubt). landon started to fall asleep as he was eating his rolls at lunch. we all got many chuckles out of his drooping eyes.
saturday, dave and landon cleaned out our gutters. dave cleaned, landon supervised.
there have been many amusing things recently, but since i started my day at 5:30 this morning, my memory is a little foggy. i'll add them as i remember them.

praise: president bush won!
prayer: family's health
playfulness: auburn cried for most of the day. i couldn't figure out the reason for her fusiness until i got her ready for bed. as soon as i took off her shoe and scrunched up sock, she calmed down. silly sock.
today, landon told his first contemplated, covering up lie. after telling him "no" about something, he began to stomp his feet. when asked, "landon, are you throwing a tempter tantrum?" he paused, thought about it, and then replied, "i was marching."

praise: i love living near my family. just wish we lived near the other half, too.
prayer: elections tomorrow. pray that God will be gracious and merciful to our nation.
playfulness: this morning, landon was playing with his blocks and he asked me to help him. i sat down and said "what do you want me to do?" his response as he handed me a block, "hold the 'o' and put it right here." (pointing to an open spot on his block wagon).
last night, while we were eating at my parents, landon informed us that he was done, and he wanted to get down "to be silly with jenna."
yesterday morning, landon went potty on the big boy potty. we went to mcdonalds to celebrate.
