Andrew had a great game today. He was very excited that Great Nana, Teacher Debi, and her son Tyson came to watch. Thank you for supporting Andrew.

I just realized a couple of things about Nicholas. I know maybe a slow, but here they are...

#1 For the past several nights Nicholas has taken his diaper off in bed, and then gone pee, yes in bed. Makes for a lot of laundry. Maybe he is ready to use the potty.

#2 Yesterday Nicholas took 2 baths and sat in the hot tub. Just this morning he has taken a shower and now been in the bath tub for an hour. Maybe he is ready for swimming lessons.

If you ask Andrew why we are moving to New Orleans...this is the response you will get.

Cindy: Andrew, why are we moving to NOLA?
Andrew: We are going to be missionaries.
Cindy: What is a missionary?
Andrew: It is someone who tells people about Jesus.

If you ask Nicholas the same questions, this is his response...

Cindy: Nicholas, why are we moving to NOLA?
Nicholas: Going to be missionaries.
Cindy: What is a missionary?
Nicholas: tell Jesus about people

Andrew 4.5 years
Nicholas 2 years

Today we spent time at my sisters house. They are in the process of tearing up their carpet and hardwood floors and getting it ready for new hardwood floors. They are getting their house ready to sell as well. Chad went down to help. The boys helped as well.

Anyone who knows Nicholas knows that he likes to eat. This morning he ate at the counter in the kitchen and had his normal fruit, and asked for pepperoni which was fine. He had finished his breakfast. I then found him sitting at the table eating Chads bowl of cereal. He was eating it but making a big mess at each spot, so he kept moving around the table where it was clean! (Click the photo to really see his mess!)

This morning I was laying in bed and Nicholas said to me...

"Mom, did you go to the hospital last night?"
"No, Nicholas"
"Are you kidding me?" He said

I was wearing a nightgown!

Andrew, Nicholas and I had a great day exploring. We started our day at Saint Edwards park and a picnic lunch. This is an amazing park with lots of places to climb and hide, swing and slide, along with playing in the sand. It was a beautiful day for playing outside. They were done with the park but weren't ready to go home, so I got the bright idea to go feed the ducks at Country Village. Well they don't seem to do that anymore, so we found the play area there and saw that the train was running. Andrew and Nicholas had a great time on the train. We also stopped by the church to hang out with Chad, as he was cleaning out his office and the youth house.

We had a busy and cold morning with t-ball from 8-10:30am. So when we got home we ate lunch and then cuddled on the couch to watch a movie. I fell asleep and Nicholas joined me. Andrew was sneaky and grabbed the camera.

Tonight we had several options for things to do. One plan fell through and the other we didn't feel much like doing, so instead we stayed home and enjoyed the evening in the backyard. We played catch with Andrew, blew bubbles with Nicholas and we sat around the fire burning leftover peeps from Easter.

you could have so much fun with a roll of adding machine tape.


a 2 and 4.5 year old could play with a pack n play for over an hour!

I am babysitting a little boy this week who is a year younger to the day than Nicholas. His parents are missionaries who are in training this week with Action International. They are from the east coast and needed someone to watch their son. Andrew and Nicholas are having a great time playing with him. Nicholas is enjoying being the older boy and being a big helper.

While we were out and about today, I asked Nicholas if he wanted a snack, and this was his response...

"My want to go to Starbucks for my snack and coffee milk."

We took a drive to Mount Vernon today to visit the Children's Museum. It was small, but we were the only ones there for the first hour.

Nicholas standing in the living room crying..."Momma, my want my legs on!", as he was pulling down his shorts trying to cover his legs.
