"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Off the top of my head... though I don't think the cream floats to the top...

M is our little Momma's girl. This one topped it for me though:

M (to Daddy): You not my daddy.
Daddy: Yes, I am. I'm your daddy.
M: No. Mommy's my daddy.

GQ is apparently learning young that you've got to make your own way in this world. We had friends over the other day and GQ rolled over to play with the 2 year old's toy.

2 year old: No!!! (with a little push)

I started to come over to move GQ when he screamed and shoved the little boy back.

Oh, excuse me while my 9 month old beats you up.

Luckily, his attention span is short so when I moved him to another part of the house he was happy to play something different.

Just you wait, M, just you wait.

I have a cold.

Why I oughta...

Justin finishes the majority of his classes this week. Sometimes in the midst of all this PhD stuff I forget he's earned his MBA.

Oh, yeah.

So, congratulations to him!!!

Your life is so fun to read about!

So, my acquaintance in Iowa City e-mailed me...just after you found a place. BUT, hopefully you two can hang out when you get settled. Her name is Kim Scadlock (she has a little boy that had a heart transplant at birth, so that will make her stick in your mind). I forwarded her e-mail to you (actually I think it is Justin's e-mail) today.

CONGRATS to Justin and getting his MBA! WAHOO! Tell him thanks for his comments on my blog. It was so good to hear.
