Kristen's thoughts

"Mommy, I have a stomach ache... um, a stomach throat."
?? "What hurts, Kristen?" She opened her mouth and pointed inside. "Oh, that's called a sore throat."

"Why did you share your sore throat with me, Mommy?"

Prayers

So, I really never write on here, but I want to start again. I typically use facebook as a way to keep up with people. We'll see how it goes... I'm not too optimistic, especially with #3 about to arrive!

Anyway, I want to at least write down some of the fun things my kids say.

I asked James (just turned 2) to pray at dinner the other night, so he folded his hands and put his head down.
"Bless Daddy. Hel-cop. ter. And plane. Bless playground few minutes." (everytime we drive by a playground he asks, "Mommy, playground few minutes?" I think he learned that one from his sister..."

Tonight he prayed, "Bless Daddy, new baby. Bless Tractor. Amen."

Kristen's prayers still include on pretty much a daily basis, "Dear God, Please bless Daddy and the new baby. Bless Mommy and Kristen and James. Bless the people in Japan, the people in Alabama, the people in Missouri. Bless all our aunties and uncles. Bless Daddy and the new baby. Bless Mimi and Puna, Grandma and Grandpa. Please bless all our friends. In Jesus' name, Amen."
There is usually more included in her prayers as well, but always all of that. And Daddy and the new baby sure get blessed a lot in this family!

"God, thank you for blessing Josh and me with such amazing, sweet children!"
