Birthday Babies

I've really fallen behind in blogging this month.

Maggie's new thing tonight: tipping her head to the side and grinning.

On her birthday, she decided to walk. Then she took a break for a few days before "stepping out" again.

She distinctly says; "Daddy" and "'s at?" (what's that)



Jack mentioned "Summer dacation" the other week. I think that was shortly after he said something about "clobsters".


Conversation in the van:
Mom: "Jack, your birthday is on Tuesday and you'll turn 3."
Jack nods.
"We're going to Grandma and Grandpa's for lunch. What would you like to eat?"
Jack gives me nothing short of a genuine "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis?" look.
Mom (laughing) "What do you want for lunch?"
Jack: "Anyfing."


All three kids survived my teaching summer school for 16 days. They had one day with dad, one with Jeanelle and her kids, one with Emily and her kids, 3 with Keesha and her boys here at our house, and the rest with Grandma and Grandpa. Whew! I realized why I'm a teacher and why I am not a regular classroom teacher. It was hard work yet I think I'll do it again next year if I can.

Jeffry cleaned buses up to last Friday, then was on to training again on Monday. Tuesday, his trainee had an accident, so he got to spend Wednesday at home. I was afraid that he was going to be working full time just as I got done working full time, so Wednesday was nice. I took the opportunity to let the babies get some Daddy time while I took Leesha shopping.
