Road Trip

Potty Trained

Abram has had his fourth day of going poo poo on the potty.  It all started when we began praying for Georgie (Abram's 2 yr. old cousin).  We started praying every morning.  Soon Abram wanted to pray for Georgie and that spurred the desire to go himself!  A friend of mine said potty training is such a bitter sweet time, signifying their growing up BUT I am thinking it is more like dark chocolate - delightful in every respect.

Raisins and Presidents

We are studied the Mayflower voyage and founding of the Plymouth colony last week.  Last week we looked at Jamestown and the week before that Roanake.  We are going through the Veritas Press history cards.  Anyway it is amazing to think of our nation's beginnings in light of the recent election.  Wednesday when I was serving snacks I passed out nuts and raisins.  In the past I have been in the habit of sprinkling some chocolate chips in with their nuts.  Because we have been sick I have been avoiding the chocolate so served the raisins instead.  Jacob said "are you serving raisins because Obama won?  I know we are going to have to stay really healthy for when we have socialized medicine."  On that note. . .I really appreciated Jenn's Blog write up.

Birthday Shopping

I had a blast shopping with Kari last Friday but you will have to visit her blog for an account of the action!  In fact I had so much fun I thought it was MY Birthday but am glad to only have one a year.
