Gingerbread Man House - as Ezra calls it

Decorating 2014

Doesn't everyone decorate in their underwear?

Elsie and Elliot were BOTH in the Prescott Talent show this year. I couldn't believe they both did it. Elliot played Star Wars on the piano, and Elsie played a one handed version of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th movement. We were very proud!

Michael turned 40. Some of the gifts that friends gave him: prunes, a cane, a magnifying glass. Our entire life group wore black. It was a good night.

3 quotes:

Mama, I know you have a penis. I saw it.

When God is in my room at night, can you hear his footsteps?

Tomorrow, are Elsie and Elliot going to play Stars Wars and Beethoven?

Um, what?

Last night Michael was building a small fire in the back yard fire pit for the kids to roast marshmallows. He was having trouble getting it started, so he stepped into the fire pit to work on it at one point. The kids came out of the house and saw him INSIDE the circle and FREAKED out. "Papa! Get out! We love you! You'll burn! Get out now!" And then, with increasing terror, "Papa! Please! You have to get out!" And then came Elliot's comment, "Papa, you're not everything we hoped for in a papa, but we have a good bond, and we don't want to waste it. Please get out!" Oh, the honesty of a 9 year old.
