Party and Race

Just a quick note to tell you about our day and our upcoming weekend. Today Jonah had his almost End-of-school party. They had so much fun eating pizza and cupcakes, every kids dream meal! They don't end school for a couple of weeks, but he's already asking when he gets to go back after summer. It might be a long summer for us! It really has been a blessing for Jonah to go and spend time with other kids and adults and he's learned so many social lessons that I couldn't have taught him at home. We just thank the Lord for such wonderful Christian people who help with the school, their reward is definitely not $$$, but they just have such great hearts for the school!

And I don't have a picture of this - but I have a funny story of my little one. The other day I was changing his diaper when the phone rang. I was halfway through the process, so I thought it couldn't hurt to leave his diaper off for just a minute. (This is where all the experienced mothers who aren't in the baby stage anymore laugh a sympathetic, but evil laugh!) As I was talking to my sister on the phone, about a minute had gone by and I hadn't seen Caleb so I went back to the toyroom where he was. There I find my ALL BOY son standing on top of the train table peeing off of it. When I walked in he was just grinning. I think he actually went back there for that purpose. Had he been waiting for that diaperless moment for months, or what? I guess we'll never know. I do not have a picture of that one though.

Everyone pray for Adam this weekend - he's running his first Sprint Triathlon. If you have ever run in a race, you know that the worst part of it is the anticipation - and he's been anticipating for awhile. I have been so proud of him for losing lots of treasured sleep, getting up early while all of us are still in dreamland and working toward his goal. I know it's been such a stress reliever for him, well up until this point where I think he gets nauseous every time we talk about it. I have full confidence that he's going to do an awesome job, and we are proud of him no matter what happens for having the guts to get out there and try something new! A lot of people spend a lifetime talking about stuff - it's the doing that actually grows you! We love you Daddy and you always make us proud just because you're the best Dad and husband in the whole world! Just don't let the big guy eating a twinkie beat you!! (Inside Joke)
