Sacrifice Brings Forth Blessings

That song is currently running through my head, although I can't quite recall all the words. I'm supposed to be picking up the house while Andy is at a fireside, but I just can't do it yet. There have been so many "funnies" this past week that we kept saying "we need to blog that!" but now I don't remember! I also love that "blog' and "google" have become verbs!

Ben wants to know what we are eating - as in what animal we are eating. And what part of the animal it is. Weak-stomach Lindsey is finally learning to talk about these things WHILE we are eating because others in the family think it's a good learning experience. I was quite impressed that I didn't gag even once as we discussed how we got the ham that we ate for dinner this evening! However, I still will not buy another rotissere chicken until we are out of this phase - I'm almost dreading the carving of the turkey...

Annie is growing and totally out-eating Ben, which is a feat in and of itself! She's like a little vulture. She also loves her daddy.

Emily is still not yet crawling on all fours but does do a one-armed army crawl. She is now pulling up on funtiture to her knees and gets a kick out of standing while you hold her hands. I've told the kids that we all need to crawl around her because it's so important to learn to crawl!

I've become an Usborne book consultant. At my party a few weeks ago I fell in love with the books again and signed up to sell them! At least for a little while until I get the things I want... This is my website if you are interested! www.ubah.com/T2109

Andy loves them too, so it will be fun! I got my kit on Thursday and Annie has comendered the encylopedia and loves to flip the pages. It is a constant battle to get her to close it and put it away, but I guess there are much worse things that she could be spending time with. There is a moon book that both of the kids have loved, and Annie is also obsesed with seeing the moon at the moment. I need to pull out Goodnight Moon for her again...

This is so wordy! I promise next time I will pose some pictures!
