I am grateful for a trip to the Zoo where a gorilla showed us his butt, and now Zeke can demonstrate just how that went.

I am grateful for a clever gift for Ben from his aunt and uncle.

What do we like? Ranch!
Where do we like it? On everything!

Thanks for Everything

Some of the things the 2-year-old was thankful for in a recent prayer:

• The zombie game (played 6 months ago with the fun uncle)
• The green bike
• Cookies
• The table
• The chairs
• Bouncy balls
• Duplos
• Water
• Puppy
• Root beer
• The plates on the table
• The forks on the table
• Other things he could see on the table

Toddler Exclamations - two in one day

Standing at the toilet:

    "Help, Dad! I peed on my face!"

Nursing a hurt lip:

    "My face ran into Ben's pumpkin." 

A Wonderful Blessing

Getting to play with the big kids.

A Wonderful Blessing

Baby's first solid food: avocado.

Actually, she likes it, but this was a funny picture.

Wearing daddy's shoes.

The first time we brought one of our kids to the Visitors' Center.

Knowing how many two is.

Luxurious bubble baths.

Crazy swinging ball chairs and nephews to visit and sit in them.

Playing with the "dirt poop" on a freshly aerated lawn.

Little kids attempting to write out words phonetically. In this case, these are the names of two characters from The Octonauts.

"Kwazii"

"Tweek"

Building wrecking balls with pretzel sticks

Attempts to herd the children into place for a family photo, captured by the camera on a timer.

Playing the griddle piano before making chocolate chip pancakes.
Also, chocolate chip pancakes.

To the launch bay!

It's a wonderful blessing to hear the imaginative requests of a young child:

"Mom, I need you to park the Gup-B outside the front door because the water drained from the house and there's nowhere for it to go."

Gross Laughs

It's a wonderful blessing that he thinks this is hilarious.
