praise: i just found out last night that my friend, lori, is expecting baby number two. she is due early october.
prayer: auburn is dealing with a very stuffy nose again. pretty sure it's allergies. dave has a paper due a week from tomorrow (with a possible three day extension). please pray for him that he will not get a migraine as he will be staying up to the weee hours of the morning until it is completed. our pastor's wife was in a car accident yesterday morning. thankfully, even though her injuries could have been numerous, the Lord limited them to a badly broken ankle. she had surgery yesterday to have screws and a plate put in. please pray for her recovery as she is not allowed to walk on it for two months.
playfulness: auburn truly is saying her first words. they all sound similar, but her motions that go with them indicate that she is understanding what she is saying. "buh-buh" with a wave is bye-bye, and "ba" is ball. she loves to play with balls. she even tries to throw them and play catch. very funny.
another auburn "funny", (but kind of gross) she likes to try to put her hand in the potty while landon is using it. i really have to keep my eye on her. she is everywhere these days.
auburn is just full of new things. today, she picked up my brush and tried to brush my hair. she also blew her nose this morning. one frustrating thing-she loves to pull her ribbons and bands out of her hair.
my excitement for the day today was that i took our vacuum cleaner apart today to remove an embedded metal hair clip from the inner workings of the machine. took me an hour, but it is working once again (without a high pitched, metal-against-metal sound).
after watching the math circus, landon has assigned us all numbers: landon=1, me=2, auburn=3, dave=4. dave and i were discussing all of the different names that landon has given us, and how we can't keep them all straight. the amazing thing is, landon not only keeps them straight, but can flip between them in a single conversation. besides numbers, his newest thrill is opening and closing the power door next to auburn's seat in the van. affectionately known as "auburn's door."
