Hallelujah

Me: how was school
Jonas: I only cried a little bit
Me: yee, did you have a good day?
Jonas: i did, I liked school
Hallelujah !!!

Later that day
Jonas: I like school
Me: that's great
Jonas: ya they give me lots of M&Ms
and that solves the mystery

I talked to the teachers yesterday, they asked if I would talk to Jo because they are havering a little show and he is refusing to sing or go on the stage. I told them he said he liked school and that he likes the chocolate. Miss Sukina said she gives him lots of chocolate every day not to cry, but he still won't sing. I get a kick out of my kid.

Dancing fools

I would like to say they had the stage to themselves but there was actually a lady trying to play piano and sing while the two of them were twirling around.

Betrothed

We jokingly (sort of) tell others we have already put the 7 cow deposit down for young Alice. She is a highly sought after lady with many suitors, but we are pretty sure she only has eyes for our little man.

Her name sake

Retreat

We had our area field retreat this past weekend. Highlights: lots of adult conversation with friends I don't get to see often, no cooking, no dishes, nap in the afternoon, good prayer times. Another highlight, the same group from two years ago from a Florida church came to do child care and activities. They cried when they left our kids after 4 days, how awesome is that!

Trooper, he is doing just about everything one handed, left handed at that.
