A Christmas Story

Last night at small group, we did our “Christmas night”, which always consists of studying something related to, well, obviously the Christmas story. However, this year, Greg had the great idea of doing the Christmas story for the kids before they went to bed. Then Lydia took that idea and made it brilliant by gathering […]

Her Facial Recognition Software is Developing Well

Ali has recently begun to point out people that look like people that she knows. Such as if she sees someone with straight red hair, she always points and excitedly says, “Kristin!!”, who is her favorite church nursery worker. Or if she sees someone with straight blonde hair, she says, “Amy!!”, one of my lifegroup […]

they are a girl’s best friend.

Ali has been completely taken with this necklace:It is the FIRST thing that she asks for every morning, and the LAST thing that I pry off of her every night (and at naptimes, people. Don’t worry. I don’t let my toddler sleep with a cord of wires around her neck). My Bible Study teacher had […]

PTSS

That’s right – Ali has it – Post-Thanksgiving-Stress-Syndrome Surely there’s a prescription medicine out there somewhere that treats this syndrome.

It’s Hard Work Keeping Secrets From Toddlers.

Chris got us a movie to watch Wednesday night to kick off our long holiday weekend, and he was telling me about it while we were getting Ali ready for bed. Then he said excitedly, yet secretively: “And I also got some more letter-after-O letter-after-O’s.” (pause). Me: “P?? You got some pee pee???” (Thoughtful pause). […]
