Sitting So Well

We ran to Walmart after church this morning....we seem to ALWAYS be at Walmart....anyway, Norman was sitting SO good in the shopping cart. I am so proud of him. He is doing so good sitting.

Saturday at Home

So today we had no place to be. It was great. Jennifer and Dad ended up coming by for a late lunch and stayed to visit. Jennifer and I did a bit of shopping. I love my new blouses from Lane Bryant (LB). I feel very pretty in them.

Norman impressed Grandpa with his standing skills. Jack was very hyper to have everyone over. He did take a champion nap, though.

Squirt Guns

Jack and I played with squirt guns today - what fun!! We took Norman and Jack for pictures tonight. Norman was pretty cute sitting in the stock pot. Neither boy napped this afternoon, so I thought we were doomed. Everything worked out really well, though.

I was going to start the big POTTY TRAINING effort tomorrow, but the 'Go Potty Go' DVD won't be in until sometime next week. We will start when that arrives. Jack loves that movie!

Trip to Richmond

Monday the boys each had a doctor's appointment. Norman is 18 pounds. Jack is 28 pounds. No wonder I get worn out after carrying both at the same time. Massage at the spa.......sounds W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L! In the afternoon we picked up Grandma T. (Great Ma) and went to the greenhouse. I had such a fun time, but Jack and Norman were for sure sleepyheads. I'm going to have the best looking tomato plants in all of Indianapolis. That evening we went to the gospel meeting at the Richmond church. Norman snoozed in my lap right away. Jack was a fairly good boy considering he was completely off schedule.

Tuesday I met Jennifer, Grandma T, and Grandpa T at the fair. We did a storytime that was pretty neat. Jack got a copy of the book that was read, did a craft, had a snack, then walked with the group to the goat barn. Jack was pretty jazzed about petting the goat. I suppose he liked the smaller size. That evening, we hung out at Jennifer's. We definatly need to get Jack hooked up with some Benedryl before going to anyone's house with pets. Yikes - what a nightmare....itching, scratching, etc., etc.

Wednesday we went to the Wayne County Produce Auction with Jennifer. It was fun to watch, but we didn't make any purchases. Jennifer was talked into getting some tomato plants, though. Plus she couldn't resist getting some Lavender. I splurged and got 3 pots when we were there with Grandma T. Smells fantastic! I taught Jack's Bible class tonight, and had to take Norman in with me. He cried the whole time, so I have to figure something out for Sunday. Blake is also subbing for families on vacation. Hmmmm This gets me thinking I need to be super prepared for teaching the last quarter.

Thursday I took the boys to the library. It was so great having blasting cold air conditioning. The humidity set in this week. H-O-T! I do not like sweating. We went to Brownsburg for their VBS tonight. Okay, lots of VBS and Gospel Meetings, I know. Jack loved going to Bible Class, and I think Granma Rennels was very proud to have Jack there. A good time had by all.

Blogging - a verb? My sister would be horrified.

I suppose if Scrapbooking can become a verb, so can Blogging? Once I get the hang of everything, I suppose it won't consume ALL of my time, however, it's fun learning all the bells and whistles.

The boys and I are heading to Richmond tomorrow after their doctor's appointments. We have big plans to go to an amish plant/produce auction. We'll be attending Richmond's gospel meeting Monday and Tuesday nights.

I had better go call Jennifer and see if she made it back from Kentucky safely. As I type, the phone rang. She was misplaced in Louisville. I found her on the grid, and she is on our way to our house to crash for the night.

I Have A BLOG

This is blog is an attempt to keep up with journaling about the kiddos. I'll also throw in general life happenings. I think I will be motivated by the online version of a journal.....we'll see how dedicated I become!

Last night I did a quick search to find out 'what exactly is a BLOG?' I had heard the term thrown around, but I always thought 'what is a blog?'. Well, now I have started one and I feel so cool.
