Cinderella Dress Up

So Kate had a fancy to try on her Halloween costume from last year and prance around the kitchen. I loved watching her amazing imagination as she also played with the King and Queen Froggy finger puppets.

I stand corrected

Here is the scene: We are all relaxing as a family. Michael is laying down reading, Kate is playing nearby, I am holding and rocking Joseph who just finished eating.

I am simply talking to my baby and this comes out, "Well hi there, Baby Joe Joe." (I realize that before he was born, I adamatly fought my son being called this nickname, but is is kinda catchy when you are talking baby talk to his sweet little face.)

Kate instantly stops her playing, looks at me with a concerned face as if I have gone mad, shakes her head and says with quite an emphatic tone, "Name not Joe Joe, Mommy. Baby Joseph!" She continues to correct my "mishap" until I acknowledge her. I then smile at her keen observation and repent for the error of my ways. "You are right, Kate. He is Baby Joseph", I say. Kate smiles, tilts her head ever so slightly and says, "Silly Mommy!"

I love this sweet girl! Every day is a delight with her!

FORE!

Yesterday was the 5th Joe Messina Memorial golf outing. Michael, James, Kortni and I were a foursome, it was my first time participating and Kortni's first time swinging a club...needless to say we had a great time with lots of laughs, lost golf balls ans memories made with friends as we remembered Joe. Joe's parents, sister Ariel, along with Dave Kangas and Jim Lenn (two of Joe's buddies from college) won the Gellar Award (in honor of Joe's love for the tv show Friends) for the best score. Good times with great people gathering for unforgettable reason.

smiles

Ok, so my first official smile was on May 24 at 5 weeks old, but Mommy hasn't been able to capture it on camera til now. She and Daddy seem to scratch their heads when I change from serious to smiles back to serious all within a matter of seconds. Oh well, they think I'm wonderful so I guess I will keep on smiling!

Just some summer fun with friends!

the rain

Just when I am am feeling down, out of sorts, behind on laundry, and like I am such a boring mom, God is faithful not only to provide rain that produces the flowers and trees I enjoy so much, but great entertainment and joy for my 2 year old!

...but I don't want to come in yet, Mommy!




Deuteronomy 32:2
Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew.Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants.
