Tennis Rackets?

It has been a LONG time since I have written. Life feels so full. So crazy. So stressful. So good.
Today I was putting Judah's shoes on and he said, "what are these mom? Tennis Rackets?" I replied...."Nope. Tennis shoes." He has brought a smile to my face many times this month. His vocabulary has somewhat of a range now and he can hold an excellent conversation!

I asked him what movie he wanted to watch adn he replied, "Princess Beauchip and baby Mavis." I had no clue. I kept asking him questions about where he saw that movie, what it was about, etc. Eventually, it dawned on me! Prince of Egypt and Baby Moses! (If you say it really fast, I can hear his version)

Creed is waving, walking a bit, singing a lot, and everytime Judah's timer goes off for time out, Creed's had goes up as a pretend cell phone and he says "HI". He is a joy and a hoot.

Jon is doing pretty well. Apart from being sick everyother week, he is good. Classes are enjoyable and church is going good. We need children's workers and a few more interns, but overall, our young adult service is going well and we could not feel anymore loved by the people at the Arcadia VIneyard--save yourself the eye sore and do not look at the website....it is dreadful, but hopefully it will be updated shortly.

I am doing pretty well myself, although catching what Jon had last week. I am still trying to figure out how to keep my life tidy....I have taken on a cleaning job at our Pastor's house and will be watching some friends kids 3x a week. We need the money, so these 2 ways seem to fit in the best. I am teaching the Bradley Method and hopefully a new seties will start in a month or so. (I am currently doing one with only one couple)

We never did get a Christmas card out....we will attempt to get something in the mail within the next hmmmmmmmmm......5 months or so! Please leave a comment if you get a chance...I love seeing who visits this blog....just choose anonymous and leave your name for me!
