Still A Little Bit Little

Here are a few of my favorite recent Jayce quotes: They fall into a few different categories of being funny, and I couldn't help myself but to organize them this way, especially since it's a longish list. Enjoy. :) Funny little sayings that seem too old to come out of a little mouth. To a book that he ran on top of, and took his feet out from underneath him. Shaking his finger sternly,"Hey book! You be nice! Not slip Jayce!" After I changed...

March Part 3: The Good

I felt a little bit guilty after I posted the extended record of our sickness the other day, so I just wanted to point out that it has not been an entirely horrible month. There have been plenty of other things happening in our family, and plenty of good things among them that I'll share. ChrisChris has 2 more books that are finished now and about to be released/available for pre-order. The first is Jesus Among Friends and Enemies here, which he...

March Happenings Part 2: Sick, Sick, Sick

To say we've been sick around here is an understatement. I know I promised a post about Scotland, you might be wondering what is new with Chris, Jayce or baby and I, and the truth is that this round of sickness took everything over and we are just finally emerging from it, wondering what happened to the last few weeks of our lives.I debated about whether or not this was worthy of a post of it's own, but decided that it is worth remembering these...

Edinburgh

I realized the other day that after our trip to Heidelberg and Edinburgh last year, I never posted anything at all about our time in Edinburgh, and now it's almost a year later! It's not that I'm completely scatterbrained, though we did have a whirlwind summer starting with that trip, and not that I never sorted through the pictures, because I actually sorted and edited them on the return flight home. It actually has more to do with my knowledge...

March Happenings Part 1

1.) I have said before how Jayce LOVES to help with anything in the kitchen, and loves to watch Cupcake Wars and Cake Boss with me. Well, last week I was fixing lunch and Jayce was watching his favorite show, which is on PBS right before it switches to non-kid programs. I called him a few times and he didn't respond, so I came out to this. He was entranced by this cooking show. It's not even a cool cooking show about desserts or with lots of...

Chatter

Last week, as I was tucking Jayce into bed at nap time, he said, "Mom, I scared of something in my crib."I paused, because he said it in a kind of playful way, not like he was actually scared but like he was trying to stall going to sleep. But I wasn't going to ignore something like this, so I said, "Well honey, you don't need to be scared of anything in your crib. Mom and Dad are here and we'll protect you.""No Mom, you and Dad not a-tect me....

Around Here

Jayce continues to crack us up every day, as a kid should.  I have told Chris on a few different occasions this past week that I just want to put this version of him in a box  to pull out whenever we need it again later in life.  He's such a fun mix of being serious, smart, and funny, without really being aware of any of them.  He's the best medicine.I had to give him a haircut today, which always bums me out a little bit.I hate...

25 Weeks Along

Well, I'm 25 weeks along now, more than halfway there. Mom was reminding me last week that she wants to see more pregnancy pictures, and since the baby is MUCH bigger than when she saw me at the start of January, I thought I'd oblige.Speaking of the little one, I had my visit and follow up sonogram yesterday and all was fine. They got the pictures that they were looking for, baby looked good and healthy, and I got another picture of baby as well....
