we played pirates
Uncle Ben and Emma play together. They play many things. Sometimes they play pirates. They have fun. Lots of fun. Can you tell?
Ben and Me – two years ago
Mi hermano y yo…
Don’t we make a lovely pair?

“Ya know what a wedding shower party is? It’s a big care package party. Uh huh.”
and another gem from today: “Funny? What do you mean by funny? There’s no such thing as funny in our house.”
unloading the groceries
Ben did it. At least, I think he did. It’s not too often that you walk into the kitchen only to be faced by a sniper!
Sunday – morning and evening in pictures
Julia really is taller than me now, by about 3/4″ (you just can’t tell because I wear taller shoes)
notice Julia taking over for Ben?

At The Christmas Tree Farm
from the mouth of Ben
Ben and I were working on his math homework yesterday when I heard him mutter to himself, “Now that is just vulgar.”
Vulgar?
What?!!! Since when does an eight year old boy know words like “vulgar”? Hmm. I do not think he knows what it means, but I am curious to know how it got into that little noggin of his.

| Lake Tahoe Vacation |
Daniel, Anna, Leitha (a friend), and I went up to Lake Tahoe on Friday. We met the rest of the family at a friend’s cabin, and spent two very wonderful days with them. It was a short break from the normal routine of work, school, ministry, work, school, ………………
I only wish it had been longer!
A Boy & A Longsuffering (& Clowinsh) Cat
Apparently, yesterday was portrait time for Ben. Mom allowed him to grab the nearest prop he could find, Anna’s Kittie. Some rather humorous pictures were the result!
*note: Kittie actually enjoyed the pictured activity. She was purring the whole time.
