A day in the life of Noah

If you ask your two-year-old to put his dirty dishes in the sink after a meal . . .

 

they might just show up in an unexpected location!

 (At least he didn't put them in the trash can . . . he LOVES throwing things away for me!)

 

 

And in unrelated news, today Noah learned how to read words in the "at" family:

hat, mat, bat, cat, sat, rat

 

He was so proud of himself!

(And I was just a bit proud of him too!)

Life as seen through Jaden's eyes

Jaden loves our digital camera! He recently got ahold of it, and here's what I found when I downloaded the pictures . . .

If you came to our house . . .

. . . this is what you'd often see! Jaden is completely smitten with all things cowboy. He has cowboy dress-up clothes, but sometimes those desperados on the Gospel Bill Show wear long coats. Okay, so the bad guys are usually dressed in black, not monkey-print, but you gotta work with what you have!

Before and after

So Lael has been growing out her hair so she can donate it to Locks for Love (hopefully by the end of the summer). She was hoping to grow out her bangs as well, but they got to the point of driving her crazy, so we decided to do something about it!

Here we have the before . . .

. . . and the after -- isn't she beautiful!
