We are still here, and doing very well.
I've been wanting to update you all on the kids, but we have been so incredibly busy, that I have failed to make time for our little spot in cyber space.
That said, I have to tell you one of my favorite things about Liam being three.
I am amazed at how well Liam is starting to articulate his feelings and thoughts.
It's just so much fun to have someone to talk to during our days at home.
I think back to when Liam was Ruby's age...
We had just moved back to Montana, and though I loved my new adventure as a stay-home-mama, I remember feeling VERY lonely.
Clint was gone all day,
we knew no one,
and although I had a tiny human to talk to,
he did not talk back.
My, my how times have changed.
Liam has so much to say now...so many thoughts to get out,
and I LOVE it!
We Had the sweetest conversation over lunch today.
I won't be able to recite it word-for-word, but this is pretty much how it went.
SCENE: I was feeding Ruby while Liam ate his PB&J (his favorite).
L: Mommy, when Jesus is mad he's gonna broke the grass, and the trains, and my heart.
M: *awkward pause* What do you mean, Liam?
L: I don't know...Jesus cleans our hearts, right Mommy?
M: Yes he does.
L: Jesus cleans our hearts because they are dirty.
M: They are. They can get very dirty. Do you know why they are dirty, Liam? They get dirty when we sin. Do you know what sin is?
L: No.
M: Sin happens when we disobey Jesus. Sometimes you disobey Mommy and Daddy, and that means you also disobey Jesus. Sin makes our hearts dirty...Mommy and Daddy sin--
L: *interruption* --and then Jesus clean 'em up!
M: Yep. When we sin we just need to tell Jesus we are sorry, and then, He will make our hearts clean again.
L: What color are our hearts when they are very dirty?
M: um...I think they are black.
L: Next time, when Jesus cleans my heart...I hope he paints it blue!
This was probably my favorite conversation with our son E.V.E.R.
We've had some fun conversations, but this is one I never, ever want to forget.
I am SO thankful that the Lord has given me the opportunity to stay home with our children.
Some days are difficult, but these are the days that make all of the others obsolete.
Bedtime stories with Daddy
L: Next time when Jesus cleans my heart...I hope he paints it blue!
Ruby takes BIG GIRL baths now!
This is how we roll at costco.
So strange to have them both up front now :)
At 8 months, Ru still has only two bottom teeth.
It seems like she should be getting the top ones soon.
She's been having some teething pain for a few weeks now.
