praise: kids seem to be almost completely better.
prayer: dalton still has a goopy eye, and landon is still on an antibiotic. auburn is getting her 2 year molars in and is miserable. she is a terrible teether, and always has been.
dave's grandmother passed away this weekend. he'll be driving to ohio tomorrow and then on to virginia with his mother and brother. i'm not sure when he'll be back.
playfulness: landon received a bug vacuum for his birthday this year. we also got him a bug box to put his bugs in. the box came with a pair of tweezers. while i was preparing to blog-landon yells out-"i need my vacuum!" then i heard him "i caught a bug!" i went down to see what thing he caught-expecting an ant since we're having ant problems. no, it wasn't an ant, it was a black and white spider. it had been crawling along his window when it met it's end from the tweezers.
auburn has been cracking me up lately with all her new phrases and "tendin" (pretending). Last night, Dave was tucking her in-for the 3rd time-when she told him she had "yuckies" - for the second time. when he checked her diaper and there was nothing there-she told him that she was "tendin". sounds more like a lie to me!
today, while eating her canned peaches, she told me she was "tendin cantaloupe!"
yesterday, she was helping me pick up her room and decided that her doll needed to help as well. so as she had the doll bend over and grab a bag she declared "dolly help, too!" very cute. she then put a penny in the dolls hand and held it there while saying "dolly! hold this! good job, dolly!" a few minutes after that she was disciplining dolly.
a landon funny from last week. while in the van, we were discussing star wars (again) and landon said "i don't like the bad guys, i like the good guys, the bad guys are kinky!" now, landon does not know any meaning for the word kinky-to him, it's just a word that he made up the instant that he spoke it. he makes up words all of the time when he's describing things. but it was very funny!
on a more serious note. we were eating breakfast when landon asked me why bad guys are bad. i told him that it was because they have sin in their hearts and they hadn't asked God to forgive them. he looks up and yells "God forgive me!" oh how i hope that someday he truly understands. i firmly believe that there is work being done in his heart, as i think his statement reveals.
congratulations to my brother! he and amanda got engaged on saturday. i believe the wedding is set for december 2007.
