Fred is the coolest dad ever!!!

Clayton took a nap in style today. Why? Because I, Jennifer, have been sick and Fred took over nap time! How cool is it to sleep in your tent for a nap!?! Seriously, Fred rocks!!

Very Sick Jennifer

No pictures here, but I thought I'd let everyone know that Jennifer is very sick today. I'll spare you the details, but just keep her in your prayers. It appears to be viral, and we hope it doesn't spread like one.

The Twenty Third Psalm

Clayton has been working on the 23rd Psalm at school. He doesn't have it perfected yet, but he has a good start. I love some of his word pronunciations. Again, how big is he?!?

Jack can talk!!

Before you send me hate mail know two things...one, he doesn't say mommy that often and two, we are working on other names!! We are REALLY working! Don't give up on us yet!

Jack, the sucker thief, strikes again

I heard a great commotion coming from Clayton's room and this is what I found upon entering...

Please know that I was holding my hand out for him to relenquish the sucker. It looks like he is hitting me, but he is only pushing my hand away. And yes, he did get to keep the sucker!

Clayton is the leader!

Clayton got to be the leader at his preschool, Joyland, this morning! He was so excited! This is a very big deal for kids of all ages. It may seem boring to some, but I was struck by just how big he looks. It almost brings a tear to my eye. My how time flies!

Has anyone see Caroline's binky?

Monday we had a sweet little girl at our house named Caroline. Caroline's mom, Katie, had to run an errand to Camden and, after a five hour ride home from Indiana, Caroline was in no mood for an hour trip in the car. Jack and I were home and we gladly agreed to keep her. When Katie came to pick her up we could not find her binky...which is unusal in this house since we just don't lose things!! I looked and looked. Thankfully Katie had an extra binky for such a time as this. Well, this morning I was looking out the window at the snow and saw the plant in the pictures below. Does anyone see the binky in the first picture???
