Today's discoveries

1. Munchkin likes cantaloupe.

2. He is cutting tooth #13!

3. We are bored! I've been looking online for some sort of gym or class or something I can take Munchkin to during the day. There is only so much you can do at home. I am looking forward to warmer weather, which we are finally getting so at least we'll have more time outside. We just need a new activity - but something cheap! :) Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer than today, so I think we'll head out to Deanna Rose.

Hubby has Good Friday off! We're sooooo excited. We tried to get him to stay home with us today, but we failed. I know, somebody's got to make the money! :) But we just miss him. Munchkin and I were playing upstairs this morning and he kept yelling "dadda!" I kept telling him that he wasn't here, but Munchkin kept yelling for his dad. It was too cute!

A Moment of Humility

As I share with you a picture of my son putting his books in the dishwasher I have a heavy heart. A new friend in my life has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer - a very aggressive cancer. So aggressive that if they hadn't found it, the doctors told her she would have only had a month to live. She is having surgery on Wednesday and will have chemo and radiation. Please pray for her and her family. She has little girls and a husband. Thankfully she is a Christian and is really relying on her Savior right now - for He is truly all she can count on. I am humbled when I think about being in her shoes. Oh the every day moments I take for granted, just like the one pictured above. What if my future with my husband and son was uncertain? I guess in a sense, it really is anyway. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed for any of us. Oh how I pray I would live more like today was my last. Who knows how many days he/she has left? But at the same time I can rejoice because I know where I'm going after this life is over. Do you?

Happy Palm Sunday

Munchkin was talking up a storm after supper this evening so I snuck up on him to videotape it. I know you all liked the first video, so I thought I'd post another. Enjoy!

P.S. Working in the nursery went great!

Happy Birthday Baby G!

Ok, so he was actually born yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to wish him happy birthday yesterday. Munchkin's new baby cousin arrived yesterday morning. We got pictures of him yesterday and think he looks like both his mommy and daddy. We can't wait to meet him in person!

---------------------

Hubby just left to pick up Munchkin from my sister's house. She babysat today because we had our small group over. I'm sure she'll post about it soon on her blog.

---------------------

Last night I went out with my teacher friends. We went to dinner at Jose Peppers and then attempted to go bowling. The first bowling alley we got to didn't have any open lanes until 9:00 p.m. (and we're old women now so we can't wait that long) and the second bowling alley we went to put us on a waiting list. Can you believe that? Who knew bowling was so popular?! Needless to say, we ended up not bowling and just went to Pete's house instead.

---------------------

Have I told you that I am starting to work in the nursery at our church? I'll be in the infant room the first Sunday of every month during the second service (10:30). I am so excited to be with the little babies! It will be nice to be able to hold actual babies again. I mean, Munchkin is no baby, he is 100% toddler!

Born to dance

I finally got a video of Munchkin dancing. He usually gets into it even more than this, but this video will hopefully give you an idea of what a music-loving boy we have. If you're wondering, he is dancing to a Sesame Street video he got for Christmas from Cousin Rebekah. Thanks for the video Rebekah - he loves it! By the way, Cousin Rebekah's due date was today. I haven't heard any news so Baby G must not be here yet. We can't wait to meet him when he does arrive.

Busted x2

I caught Munchkin putting a cookie down a vent in our kitchen today. Busted!!! Did I mention I caught him too late?

I made homemade pizza for supper with dough from scratch. After I had mixed the dough and set it to rise my phone rang. I went into the living room to get it and when I got back in the kitchen Munchkin had the wooden spoon I had used to mix the dough (how he got it I'll never know) and there was dough on his face. Busted!!! I tried to get a picture (especially since he was just in his shirt and diaper) but couldn't get a good one. He's too quick once the camera comes out!

S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G

It is official. We are having to spell in front of Munchkin. He is just too smart for his own britches. Here are some of the words we are having to spell:
bath
outside
sippy cup

Today I tried to get a video of him dancing. The boy absolutely loves music. I don't think it turned out very good. I'll try again and will hopefully post one soon!
