Just some sentences.....

It's Sunday evening.
Eric is snoring on the couch.  Poor guy.   He hasn't been feeling too well.  We found out he has a narrowed disc in his back...and a nasty cold/cough.   He's still working...but really should take it easy.  
Loving all the baby kicks and moves!   Feeling alright.   Need to pace myself......and some general abdominal wall "protests" are happening more than past years!  Achem.
Enjoyed a ladies' conference held by Providence Community (Reformed) church on Saturday.
Looking forward to going away for a long week-end in a couple of weeks with just Eric.  We plan to go to Ottawa.  New for both of us! 
Super Oma and Opa (my parents) will hold down the fort while we are away.
I can't believe I'm doing a post without any photos.
I can't believe I heard myself say the other day, "Put the gun down, and pick up your pencil." 
Ok.  Maybe I do believe that. 
I took Jacob and Macayla to the Opera in Hamilton last week.  Fun times.  It was "Barber of Seville".  Romantic comedy.  The girl:  LOVED it.   The boy:  "If they just spoke and didn't sing each line (in Italian) five times over....that play would be about 15 minutes long."   Secretly, he did mostly enjoy it.
Go see "Courageous", if you haven't already.  I've been twice.  
Once with Eric, and then with our two oldest. 
Not sure if it is coming to New Zealand.   Check it out my Kiwi friends.   From the makers of "Fireproof."

And I finish with a post I copied from Jacob's blog, which he called "The Genius Answer":

I was holding a flashlight, then Gideon walked up and demands the flash light. I said no. And he turned to mom and complains "mom!!!!!! Can I have the fflllaaaaaaaashh liiiigggght!" Mom says no and then Gideon turned to me and says "Jaaaacccoooobbb! Can I have the flllaaassshh lliiiiggghhhht!!!!!!!!!" So I reply "Gideon, what psychological reason would you have for examining this object?" His prompt reply was "8" ........... I couldn't argue so I gave him the flash light.

True story.  Night all.

They are "hard-wired" this way.....

Many months ago, my grandparents moved home and two sets of crutches ending up at our house.  At first there was great fun, bandaging various lower limbs and joints......THEN.......the crutches have been taken apart, and put together with this being the result.......SO boy!  
 (Don't worry they've since been reassembled and stored away should anyone we know have a true need for them...hopefully not!)
