It was a Time for Change Fitness weekend and much much more... Your daddy finished his recipe/exercise booklet, and it came out really great! I am so so so proud of him, and how he put so much into this product. You were super patient with daddy for the past week while he pressed into his work full force to tie it all up! You, daddy and mommy went out this past Saturday to "Light at the Light House" which is a Christian festival with bands and lots of fun stuff :) Your daddy had a fitness booth, and you and I went out to support him. He is so passionate about what he does, and I really hope you inherit that from him :) It's a great way to be. Plus, he lets us be super involved in everything he does. It's so fun to go out and do stuff like that as a family. You pretty much go everywhere we go... This past week I thought of am AWESOME tradition we are going to be starting to do as a family! Gosh it gets me so excited when I come up with things like that since I know family time is so important, and will mean so much when your older. It's a Christmas tradition having to do with Christmas morning ;) You'll find out what it is eventually. Also, we are starting worship time with you before bed. This just started because daddy finally got some small drums to play at home, and mommy tuned her dusty guitar :) W are really excited about it though, and pray that it will be a tradition we will keep and share forever.
Your uncle C.J. came over to visit the other day and we got to talking about all the games we made up as kids, and how much fun they were! He reminded me of "the VO vo lady!!!" When your mommy (me) was little I used to just be sitting in a room with my brother and sister and all of a sudden start saying very softly at first... "Vo vo, Vo vo, Vo vo..." and they would just take off running as I yelled louder, "VO VO, VO VO, VO VO, VO VO!!!" Hence, I was the Vovo Lady ;) One of our silly games. But only I could ever be the Vo Vo Lady... True story... Anyway, then we had other games we made up called, Bull Dog, Slap Feet, Say Hello to the Spider and so on and so forth... I am really hoping you too make up your own funny games, and have as much fun as we did, and MORE! :)
By the way you were sang to this past weekend by a lady who said that she wrote children songs... The lyrics went something like this, and I'm being very serious here... The title is : Autumn Leaves... "(in no particular tune) the reluctant cook was in the kitchen, and her husband said make me some meat and potatoes, so she went into the kitchen and opened up the refrigerator, and the cupboards. And she found all the ingredients, and so on and so forth. and of course she makes the food, and they eat the food and say how much they like it. and then they say maybe they want some dessert too, and so on and so forth. And she goes outside and theres Autumn Leaves falling. and it's a little bit cold, and she's glad she has a jacket." The end... and yes, the so on and so forth was an actual part of the song.
Today you got to hang out with some fun little girls. We all had so much fun together! I babysat an old friends kids today, and they were so nice with you, always hugging and kissing you. You were loving this time with them because they made you laugh and talk more than usual. I think you were really trying to communicate with them. It was hilarious! You were so into them. They sang to you too! We went to the duck park (Avril Park) and there were geese out from that chased us down! I was like, aaaaaaaaaaah, turn around girls, and run for it! Hahahahahaha. I was pushing you in your stroller, carrying the 2 1/2 year old, and helping the 4 year old run! It was so funny. I was talking so sure of myself, like, "oh, don't worry girls, they won't get to close..." Little did I know... THEY SURE WOULD! The didn;t want us to enter the park that way, so we chose another way ;) Then we all fed the ducks, and walked through the beautiful park singing songs and watching the ducks swim. All of a sudden I pointed out a cute little squirrel. I said, "hey girls, look at that cute little squirrel, isn't he so cute and little." Yeah, not very cute when he comes right up to you seeming as if he was going to crawl up your leg! He literally crawled right up to our feet and the girls immediately crawled up me! They were both in my arms, and I was trying to push the stroller away from the creepy squirrel who was trying to seriously jump into your stroller. That's when me and Stephanie (the 4 year old) concluded, we better go to another park with less animals... So we did, and ended up at Friendship park. That was way better and you liked putting your little feet in the sand and watching the girls play on the toys. Then we went to Yogurt Land for a little bit of Yogurt. Yum! Then off to grandma's house for some fun play time with all the toys she has in the spare room ;) For lunch I packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apples, grapes and water. You had milk ;) Oh man Eli, it really was fun, and kind of cool to get a glimps of what having 3 kids might be like. Love you baby boy! By the way... you are into EVERYTHING right now. ou grab anything that's in front of you, and you are so focust on touching everything you can. I have to say, it's a super super super cute stage! I am loving it. I'm getting a little beat up, but it's ok. You pul my hair, slap me in the face, and scratch me, but at least you are motivated right? Heehee ;)
