Just An Update

I am way, way behind on my updates. The last entry was in September so I will, for your viewing pleasure, create one entry each for the Months of October and November, with all the happenings that occurred during those months. (At least the ones that I can remember anyway!)

What's in My Heart

We went to the nature preserve today. God's Creation is beautiful. I saw the evidence today! If you don't believe there was a Creator... I've got the documentation right here! Anyway, when we got home we were all tired and a little worn out but happy. Very happy. My boys were well behaved and energetic and had a wonderful time. We were unloading our spent picnic, cleaning up, and preparing the little ones for nap when I looked around me and saw more of God's miraculous creation-my 4 beautiful boys. I grabbed the nearest 2 and held them tight. I said, "I love you so much right now, my heart is full!" Henry, ever the optimist, exclaimed, "... full of toys!" I laughed. Austen got it, he said, "No, Henner, full of much love."
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Jacker

Henry's fish, Jacker (yes, the fish's name was Jacker) had just died. I was in the process of flushing him down the toilet. Aaron caught me in the act. To lighten things up I said, "Say goodbye to Jacker," Aaron waved goodbye. Then as Jacker was circling down, down, down, Aaron stops waving and blurts out, in a startled/mournful voice "Nemo!"

Sitting on the couch one day, I was approached by my 4-year-old son, Henry. Henry looked down at the end table, which was covered with a layer of spilled breakfast cereal and asked, "Who did this, was it Aaron?" It was indeed Aaron who had spilled the cereal and then wandered away, leaving the mess. "Yes," I replied, "It was Aaron. He's such a bad boy." To which Henry responded, looking me right in eyes, "Then you must destroy him."
I laughed, how could I not?
Henry, ominously: "You must never laugh at me."

Top Secret

I just got a wrong number. The person kept calling me "Sergeant Reed"
I kept saying "hello, who is this?"
But they were talking over me. Finally she said it was "Major Leggit"
I couldn't understand exactly what she was saying but it seemed to be about something she had just "picked up."
Plutonium?
I could have been privy to national secrets!
