I mean, really . . . I just got home yesterday from a lovely trip with just me and Gav. Do they really have to start torturing me already?

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart."

Who is the cutest baby of all?
Lincoln was so cute reading to Jace the other day. I just had to snap this picture . . .
. . . then I remembered that I had a similar picture of Aubrey reading to Lincoln when he was about the same age. What fun!

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience."
"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals . . . Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings."

Who is the cutest baby of all?
Did you just say what I think you said?
Aubrey to me while driving in the car: "Mommy! I just frowed up a little in my mouth and when I swallowed it back down it did NOT taste gooder as the other ones."
Lincoln to Gav: "You are the super-est daddy ever and mommy is the super-est mommy, and Jace is the super-est . . . kid. And dat means that we are a super famawee."
And on a not so super moment after Lincoln recived a swat on his hand, Lincoln says to me: "Mommy, daddy panked me!" I reply, "Why did he spank you, Linc? Did you disobey?" And his rebuttal with a scowl on his face (of course), "No, because he is a wude daddy!"

Aubrey checked out a book about mummies and ancient Egypt from her school library. She has been completely enthralled. If this fascination lasts, maybe she'll be an archealogist when she grows up. At one point while reading, she asked me, "Mommy, why do they call them mummies and not deaddies?" I don't think she knew she was making a pun.
Aubrey asked me what 'CD' meant, so I told her, 'compact disc.' A: Why do they call it a compact disc? Me: Because when mommy was a little girl they had records, which were this big (showing with my hands); then they came out with CDs, which are smaller, so they're called 'compact discs.' A: Oh, mommy, so you lived in the old days.
(What?!? My mom lived in the old days, not me.)

Sleep away or slave away? When the boys are napping and Aubrey is in school, should Sarah take a quick snooze or do housework?
Who wakes up first?
So I'm lying in bed this morning, trying to remember my younger years. As far back as I can remember, my mom was awake before we were. Maybe she never slept. Now that I'm a mom, I'm not nearly as good as she was. Jace wakes up for a bottle (which is when I get up, but I take him back to bed to feed him usually); followed by Lincoln who sees daylight and says it's 'wake-up time' (even though I try to convince him otherwise); then Aubrey moseys on out whenever she has had enough beauty sleep (provided Lincoln hasn't already made too much noise). I wish I could wake up first, but for now, my kids are my alarms.

Lucky for me school started Monday. Although, the minute they step in the house it's "mom, Josh ...." and "mom, Lindsay...". Unfortunately, I don't think it ends until they move out.
you know a l w a y s!! :)
I have no idea what you're talking about. Kids do that?
Ok, ok....I am surprised at how sassy a three year old can be. It makes me really think about my own tone. Especially when it comes out of their mouth the same way it came out of mine. Yikes!
Yes! They do. Dave and I are planning an overhaul of the daily activities in our home!! I think having a guy around again will help maintain some order...although, he sometimes is the one that starts it all!! Come end of September, I'm off on a child-free cruise. Nice.
Of course they do--they've been lovin' on Grandma all week and therefore not had the chance to abuse anybody the entire time you were gone. They've been saving it all up for YOU! :)
