Petey update

Being Peter's mommy has been the greatest joy (and challenge at times!). Everyday he is discovering new connections or learning new words. My favorite is "I love you, Mommy." It's so fun to have the back-and-forth communication growing now. He even sings a little bit. He repeats the end of the "Bible" song: "B-I-B-L-E, Bible! Yay!"

I'm learning to include him in everyday tasks like making things in the kitchen, like the smoothies below. He likes trying to vacuum and sweep too. We're working on willingly picking up toys. That doesn't always turn out.  

 The weather has been surprisingly wonderful in Portland recently and so we're getting lots of outdoor time. Peter loves going on to walks to nearby parks and interacting with the other children there. He's already flirting with the girls.

Petey continues to love books and reading. Some of our favorite are "The Little Engine that Could", "Dr. Suess' ABCs", "Horton Hears a Who", and "Mr. Brown Can Moo". I love snuggling up with him before his nap time to read a book. Nathan taught him to repeat the alphabet after us. And while he can't say, "one", he'll say "two, three, four, go!". 

He's still to young to really understand I think, but we read him the Bible and pray with him. He saw some characters in one of his book praying with their eyes closed and hands together and now he loves doing it. Whenever I catch him doing it I try to say something like, "Let's pray to Jesus!" and copy his action and say a short prayer. He always grins or laughs when we get to "Amen!". 

And this kid loves food. One of my favorite thing he says right now is "cereals". He can be picky at times and there's certainly things he doesn't like, but if you give him a sweet potato, any kind of fruit, spaghetti, or cheese, he'll gobble it right up. 

So thankful for the blessing of our son. Hope you all realize the blessings you have in family!

Good Luck Jill

You have to be "Baldo" (bold) to open your very first consignment shop in a 5'x11' space. Well, Jill did just that this weekend just a few blocks from her house. Pop's gives us the TOP TEN questions Jill asked herself before making the move.

• "Will me friends think I'm showing off?"
• "Should I run this past my therapist?"
• "Will this make me "Baldo" or "Broke"?"
• "Will it detract from my 15 foot sign?"
• "Is 5'x11' really the new 50'x30'?"
• "Why has no one snatched this space up yet?"
• "Maybe now is not a good time to buy sofas?"
• "What would Martha Stewart do?"
• "What's the catch?"
• "Can it possibly live up to how I imagined it?"

Mimi had the mammogram Friday. Pop's gives us the TOP TEN thoughts going through her mind at the time

• "I hear this thing also makes waffles"
• "Cancel lunch date with Vic"
• "Whoops - I gotta sneeze!"
• "Was that supposed to happen?"
• "Gee, I'm in the mood for a romantic evening"
• "I just wanna live long enough to see Eva Bell do something this stupid"
• "Didn't feel a thing"
• "Hope this doesn't bruise"
• "I shouldn't have to do this, I'm a great grandmother"
• "Go Padres"

Andrew Looking Good For Oceanside Lifeguard Postion

What a humbling experience! It really put him to the test. He swam 500 meters in a pool then sprinted 1/4 mile on the beach , swam 500 meters in the ocean followed by 1/4mile sprint. The water was 54 degrees, brrr. They could only wear speedos, ugh. He then had an oral interview which he felt went well. He won't know until the first week of May.

Pops gives us the TOP TEN recurring nightmares the last few days for Andrew

Fat guys that say, "lotion me"

That white stuff on my nose? Ranch dressing

Too much paperwork

Inappropriate relationship with CPR dummy

If he let someone drown, he'd have to work weekends

Guys who pretend to be drowning because they enjoy mouth-to-mouth

Keeps trying to give himself CPR

A depressed, overweight David Hasselhoff getting his job

Constantly reminding people it's not a nude beach

Not looking good in speedos

Caps By "Dooogie"

They go on sale Saturday. Good luck Doug, they are wonderful!

Andrew's First Real Job

No, She's Not Two!

"Happy Birthday"
