In Jesus’ name: Amen
Posted by: Nikki on: November 7, 2009
When it comes to our boys I try not to make our faith too mysterious. I try to speak as plainly as possible so there’s no confusion. For example, we don’t “say grace” before we eat. What does that mean anyway? No, I tell them we are going to “say thank you” to God for [...]
It Starts
Posted by: Nikki on: July 13, 2009
I have three nephews, so I’m not surprised by much my two sons throw at me. There is much however I am not looking forward to that I know is coming my way as they grow (e.g., sights, smells, sounds). Jadon gave me an introduction the other day into the season of life we are now [...]
A Tale from the Bottomless Pit
Posted by: Nikki on: May 13, 2009
Yesterday I gave in to a long-time craving for McDonald’s apple pie. I bought two for $1. And to make sure I could enjoy my treat in peace I also purchased fries for my sons. Nevertheless, I still ended up having the following conversation with Jadon:
“Mommy, what are those?”
“Apple pies.”
“Apple pies! Wow! What’s in ‘em?”
“Mushy brown apples [...]
So Much To Say, So Little Time

I can’t imagine trying to get all this out and keeping it coherent all at once; so I’m just going to start and we’ll see where it goes.
So for starters I’ve lost some of my hearing. Like every year hay fever kicked in for me at the end of last month. I’m congested in my head [...]

This morning as we were headed out the door to preschool Jadon asked could he wear his brown shoes. I told him he should wear his blue sneakers because the brown shoes didn’t match his outfit.
“But,” he whined, “I wanna wear the brown shoes that match my face!”
I laughed so hard I [...]

Long after the kids have left our home (if we’re still in the same house), inside quiet moments I am positive I will forever hear echoes of Jadon suddenly yelling “MOMMY! I’M FINISHED POOPING!” This really translates to Mommy please come wipe my butt!
Yesterday as we were taking care of said business I told him, “You know, when [...]
Growing Up in a Recession
Posted by: Nikki on: February 3, 2009
We teach Jadon that our family is a team and that each one of us has a job to do to make our team successful. This has been useful in minimizing the “I don’t want to …” factor in our house. Never has he challenged this way of thinking until this morning. This is an [...]
A Puppy Would Be Easier
Posted by: Nikki on: January 28, 2009
Besides getting him to communicate when he has to go, another challenge we face potty training Caleb is that he has become more comfortable going in a diaper. Even if he’s on or at the potty for 10 minutes, he’ll hold it until the Pull Up is on. The other morning I was determined to wait it [...]

Jadon insists these are the words to the song:
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere!
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is bored!

Conversation overheard in Jadon’s room after we put him to bed one night:
I know. I know. I know you’re hungry Tummy. But you have to wait ’til breakfast!
