Singing

Tonight was singing night at church. Eli lead a song with Pop. We were late getting to church. We got there right at the start of church because of late naps. Pop and Eli had not talked about Eli leading a song, but when Pop got up to lead Eli went too. They sang "I Know that my Redeemer Lives." He was so cute. He of course did not sing, even though this is one of his favorite songd, but the facial expressions were priceless. Micah of course helped sing throughout the service. He is becoming very vocal.

Start of another week

We were able to eat lunch with Mimi and Monk today. We met them after church and then they came out to the house for a little while. The boys played while they were here and Mimi and Monk were able to see what they do. Eli of course had his Hot Wheel out playing. Oh, he started pedaling on Thursday. He still likes to just use his feet better but can pedal if he wants too. Micah of course was in hot pursuit of Eli in his walker. They go in circles as fast as they can. It is so fun to watch. But you must watch out for your toes or they will become victims.

Both of the boys are sleeping now and I need to do some laundry.

One question

Thursday night, Eli and I were in my room. He was on my bed and I was on the computer doing something. Eli goes "One question." I say "Okay, what is your question." "Where Lollie?" I tell him where Lollie is and he then asks where Pop is. I tell him, "No, that is two questions." He sits there a few seconds and then looks at me and says, "One question." I say okay. "Where Pop and Lollie?" I laughed so hard. Eli is so fun and using his reasoning ability really early!

We have so enjoyed the weather. We spent several afternoons outside. Pop and Lollie have been working in the yard in the evenings and Eli has been helping. Eli loves to dig in the dirt and help plant flowers. Micah enjoys being outside also. He is still just a little to small to be down helping.

We had family out tonight to eat for my birthday which was on Tuesday. We had so much fun. My grandmother even came. She is not in the best of health and it was special to have her here.

Fun in the sand

Micah had his first experience with sand today. Eli had gotten a turtle last summer and loves to play in the sand. Eli likes the beach but we dont live close enough. He has to settle for the pool and the turtle sand box. Micah was not too sure of it at first put enjoyed it once he was in the sand a little bit.

Not much new

We have had a quiet and good weekend. We went to Athens yesterday and spent some time with Mimi and Monk. Eli got to run around outside some and ride the tractor so he was very happy. Micah enjoyed the time outside too. He likes to watch the dogs run around.

Today in church Micah was very vocal. He helped sing and said amen to prayers. He is so sweet and starting to show his personality. He has a little temper that is starting to come out some.

Work is still good. I am really enjoying it. I know I said pictures would come soon about two weeks ago. I have not forgotten. I just have not had time. Hopefully this week I will be abe to get time up.

Just an update

Just a quick update on the three of us. The boys are great! I will try to get some pictures posted this week. They both seem to be changing daily. Eli is still doing great with potty training. We have now made it three weeks with no accidents and he is starting to tell me when he needs to potty. Way to go Eli. Micah is always happy. He is starting to get into everything. It is amazing how mobile one can be in a walker and on the belly. He is so funny. If he sees a toy in the floor he will bend as far over the walker as he can to look at it and then try to walk to it. Of course he will lose sight of it and then back up and try again. He will take two or three steps and then pick up his feet and glide. We have hard wood floors so he glides really well. The boys still are going really good getting along too. Eli will make sure Micah has a toy or passy if he needs one. Micah will reach for Eli whenever he is near and also grins when he sees Eli.

The job is going good. I am enjoying the work. It makes me a little nervous still to have money to count, but I am getting there. The boys are doing so good staying with Pop and a lady from church. Today was there first day with Mitzi and things went great. I was worried more about Micah with me breastfeeding. But he is going great taking the breast milk from a bottle. We tried a cup the first day and he did not go for that.

Eli needs a bath and Micah is already down, I hope for the night. I think Micah had slept an hour all day. Till next time....

Busy week

This has been a very busy weekend and week for us. We spent Labor Day with my Mom's side of the family. We had a lot of fun. I had to start a part time job Tuesday. Things went good. I will be working forPeople's Bank in Decatur. I will work on Monday and Friday. Dad watched the boys for me and things went good. I hope tomorrow goes as well for them.
