Weekend

What a weekend! My dad "papa", and who Maiya calls "gamma a gampa" Pippin were in town for the weekend - and a few more days. The kids had so much fun. Ethan and grandma took turns beating each other at Chess, they caught soccer games, and made it to the Hannah Montana movie. What could be better?

Ethan remembered he has his very own bed in the house. Thank goodness! He's off track and will inherit lawn mowing duties this summer. He's not so excited about that. He asked if we had the National Geographic channel the other day; he was reading from his magazine,"Because they are going to have a frozen mammoth on there! A baby one!" Love that.

Kiana lost another tooth today! Funny story. It's smelly. She told Ethan, "Ethan, you have to say 'excuse me.' If you say 'excuse me' then your farts won't smell." Ethan came and asked Stuart if that was true. Monkeys!

Maiya insists on saying her prayer whenever we pray. She's varied from the short offering on the food to substituting in one or two things we can't quite understand, but nonetheless she's so pleased with herself. Tonight we got,"thank you a gamma a gampa a car", meaning thank you grandma and grandpa are in their car driving home. She's a doll.

Today I am grateful for the little things in life.
