A Good Book

Sometimes when you snuggle up with a good book, you just happen to drift of to sleep. This is how we found Micah during nap time last weekend. He is fast asleep.

Texas

At the beginning of July, Micah, Elisha, Oma and Mommy drove to Plano, TX to visit with Uncle Matt, Auntie Kim and baby Charlotte (born 3/11/08). During our 17 hour car ride, Micah slept a total of 20 minutes. He was very good the whole trip, just very excited. Opa flew out to join us.
One day Micah got to get away from them babies and play on the playground with Mommy and Uncle Matt.


It turns out baby Charlotte has lots of hand-me-down toys. She shared them very kindly.

Oma and Mommy wanted some cousin pictures while we were all together. It didn't turn out to be such an easy task.
Micah was a good sport, though.
We decided not to make the trip home all in one day. We stopped at a very nice hotel. Oma picked out one with a pool. After swimming, Micah got to watch a Thomas DVD in bed with his snack. What a treat! He took better naps in the car on the way home.

Thanks Uncle Matt, Auntie Kim, baby Charlotte, Oma and Opa for a great trip to Texas!

Thank You God for...

At night before bed, Micah and I say prayers. I start by saying "Thank you God for..." and Micah finishes the sentence. Then I pray for him and tuck him in. This was our prayer time last night:
me: Thank you God for...
Micah: Mommy, Elisha, baby Charlotte, my penis, Daddy who starts with D...
Mommy, what letter does rocket start with?
me: Rocket starts with R.
Micah: and for rockets that start with R. Amen.

I quickly finished praying, left the room, closed the door and bust up laughing. I guess he already knows just how important it is that he is a boy and he has a penis. I will never understand! :)
