everyday life

i figure since the name of this blog is everyday life sometimes it's good to show what everyday life looks like around here. . . lunchtime . . . radio on, paper plates in use, lots of cut up fruit and cheese to munch and shady is usually lurking just below emersyn's chair waiting for any handouts or castoffs that may come his way.

emersyn loves the camera lately. she runs around saying "cheese" and giving lots of good smiles. here's one of her at lunchtime. have we told you that she's now eating at the island. i have officially lost my spot to her, and she LOVES being up there next to her big brother.



brody is not so keen on the camera. it's not that he dislikes the camera. it's that he dislikes doing anything that's requested of him . . . he'll do it sooner or later . . . in his own time . . . when he's made up his mind that it's what he wants to do. case and point - the only picture we could get of him at lunchtime this day was the back of his head. christmas pictures . . . hmmm . . . we'll see!



but, please do notice that brody's hair has a nice clean line across the back thanks to a recent (and much needed) haircut. emersyn received her first haircut too! we took them spur of the moment while out running errands so no pictures of emersyn's first haircut. fortunately i forgot to take pictures of brody's first haircut too so they're even on this one!

last story for tonight . . . last night brody and i were walking into the dark garage so i turned on the garage light. brody asked: is that God's light? Wow! i was shocked, amazed, humbled, delighted and so much more. he later picked up the conversation again and told me that the sun is God's brightest light, and tonight he chose a story from school about God's light. this is a topic of much interest to him lately. i LOVE his preschool! what wonderful work they are doing!
