Some Day

I'm gonna ride....

and he's gonna push.

But right now,

He really likes riding.

HAPPY TUESDAY FRIENDS!

Pop and Bette Came to Town

and Thomas got some much needed attention.

A little "Itsy Bitsy Spider",

This should definitely have a name because it is all the rage these days.... We'll call it "Follow Me",

and a tad bit of story time.

Thomas didn't mind it one smidge.

Come back soon!

That's Us

On a small table in Thomas's playroom there is a picture of Brian and me (is that right? me not I? can someone tell me?) shortly after we were married. Out of the blue last week Thomas walked up to it and pointed to me, "MaaaaMMMMeeeeee", and then to Brian "DaaaDDDeeee".

I'm so proud. He knows us!

Look Closely

We have a sick baby.

Brian's out of town and my Mom and Dad are on their way here now.

Being sick is no fun.

Will you say a prayer for us please?

Or as Thomas would say, "Pweeeeeese"

St. Louis

Several weeks ago, I'm so behind I'm sorry, a friend and I took our boys to St. Louis for the night.  The ride up looked a little like this...

Aren't they such good riders? We thought so.

As soon as we got there, we took the boys to a gelato shop down the street from our hotel.

They LOVED it!

When we got back to the hotel, we let the boys unwind for a little while.

Aiden's favorite thing was playing with the toilet paper rolls.

We attempted a group picture, with the camera on timer.

That's the very best we could do.

We took the boys to the zoo.

Everyone loves the zoo, right?

Aiden especially.

Thomas sometimes, not really.

He did scope out a jeep though. Jeeps are always a hit, and I did not once rub germx all over it although I most definitely should have.

Everyone loved the train ride.

Thomas really studied every detail about the ride.

After the zoo, we took the boys to one of my favorite St. Louis destinations, The Galleria.

Needless to say, it was not a favorite of the boys.

We had a QUICK dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.

I just love being with these two!

Beaming

Several weeks ago Brian had agreed to teach our Sunday School.   The Sunday before Brian is scheduled to teach one of our dear friends, Scott, gets up and teaches the EXACT same lesson Brian had prepared; Almost word for word.

Brian prayed, studied, regrouped and ended up teaching on Joseph. Joseph from the Old Testament.... Not Joseph father of Jesus.  He did a fantastic job. I'm so very proud of him, I'm just beaming.  Our classmates are a tad older than us and most are extraordinary bible scholars.
Funny story, Scott took Brian's lesson and when Brian got up, John Gardner laughed..... Brian had taken his.
(I included this picture because this is most of our SS class.)

Ladies Lunch

Last week I got a babysitter and hit the town with two of my most favorite people.

Dont let their calm, prim and proper looks fool ya; they are as rowdy as they come. Miss Sarah, 87, being the rowdiest.
