No More Kidney Stones!

I went to see my urologist this morning to check on the kidney stone that was still there on my last x-ray 6 months ago. It's gone! So, I am praising the Lord for that!!! Hopefully, the days of my kidney stone adventure are over!

Peg

Wednesday, September 28, 2005 - Annah and her "Peg."

Annah was given this little Beanie Baby Pegasus for Christmas a few years ago by a lady in our church who was in the nursery frequently. Annah had developed a special affection for her and even called her "Grandma Sandy" for a while. Right away Pegasus became special to Annah, but she was put away in a toybox and Annah didn't come across her that often. Over the past few years, every time Annah saw Pegasus, she was so excited to find her and would take her everywhere she went. Then, one time she was being punished for something and Pegasus was taken away along with some other toys for a while. Annah cried and cried, saying, "I love Pegasus! Don't take her away!" So, when she was given the toys back, she clung to Pegasus and has barely let her out of her sight since. She is definitely her most loved toy. She takes her everywhere and takes good care of her.

Holly Hobby Sylvia

I picked the little dress Sylvie is wearing here in a "FREE" box at a garage sale a few years ago, because it reminded me of things my mom and my aunt used to sew. I decided today was the right time to put it to use. I tried it on Sylvia and took her outside with Holly Hobbie and pretended to be a photographer. I took 33 pictures, and probably at least 20 of them I really like. She was so sweet and cooperative. I could tell she felt very pretty and special being a model.

Conversations with Annah

Quotes from Annah this week:

During a big storm she wanted to stop so we could go out to eat...

"Mommy, do you know God's phone number?"

While a car was passing us...

"Hey, do you think you're going to beat us?!"

Thoughtful Girls

Wednesday, September 21, 2005 - I was not feeling well and taking a nap in the front room while the kids were taking their naps. When I woke up, the girls were sitting in the chair looking at books perfectly quietly. Such good little girls!!!!

Simon

We made another quick trip to Indiana over the weekend to be a part of [our nephew] Simon's baptism. Jeremy and I are honored to be his godparents, and felt privileged to participate in the baptism ceremony!

Tongue out

 Caeden's new trick...sticking out his tongue!

He also likes to sing, "Ahhhhhh!" or "La, la, la!" And, a few weeks ago started to clap his hands which he now does along with music. Caeden won't say, "Mama," but for the past couple months we've noticed he likes to say his own name a lot!
