My Little Baby is Growing Up!!
Lucas is now in the preschool choir at our church. Here he is in the choir when they sang at the missions conference - his first time singing in church!. (So cute!!!)
PS: Lucas is in the bottom row on the right. He is wearing a blue shirt and tie - the boy next to the kid hiding behind the plant.

Kids are So Funny!
I have been meaning to do this for quite some time...now that I have a minute...
Lucas has been talking for quite some time (every now and then he takes a breath), and, as is typical for a child of his age, he has come out with some very funny phrases; and Lance has recently begun talking and has already come up with some things that must be preserved:
Ben and I were trying to have a conversation while eating dinner one night, and, as is common in our house, Lucas was carrying on his own conversation making ours difficult to be heard. Ben stopped and said, "Lucas, I'm trying to talk!". Without missing a beat, Lucas replies (in an equally exasperated tone), "I'm trying to talk, too!"
Lance LOVES trucks, cars, airplanes, ambulances.....basically any motorized vehicle - with or without wheels. Before he could say the names of all these motorized vehicles, he would call everything a 'cuh' - however in the case of airplanes, he would say, "BIIIIIG CUH!"
Lucas and Lance are soooooooo cute now that they are able to communicate with each other on a level that other people can understand. They have some very deep conversations. Often, while we are in the van, they will discuss the various emergency response vehicles. The conversation goes something like this: Lance: "it's a fire-cruck" Lucas: "NO, Wance, it's a amawance", "No, fire-cruck", "No, amawance", "No, fire-cruck" (repeat several times), Lucas: "MOM he says 'no'!!" (as if I am somehow supposed to convice Lance that he is wrong).
Isn't it funny how random, seemingly insignificant events can make a big impression on the minds of small children!?? The boys watched 'Dave and the Giant Pickle' (the VeggieTales version of David and Goliath) and were greatly impressed by the way the Giant Pickle falls when Dave hits him with the stone. Now, they stand on the couch and 'do a pickle': standing facing the length of the couch, they fall keeping their bodies stiff and land, face first, on the couch. Hours of entertainment.
After Lacey was born, Lucas suddenly had the opportunity to be curious about how I fed her (breastfeeding). One day at church, he asked our pastor's wife if she had milk. She answered, "No, only mommy has milk." In typical toddler fashion, he concluded, "Oh, you have juice."

One Month: The Reader's Digest Version
Pretend with me that we are currently in the middle of August....Hey Everybody, we're moving to TN!!!
There are several factors involved in the decision to move, but, mainly, Ben will be attending Crown Seminary to get his Masters of Ministry degree. We went to TN for a long weekend to find a place to live, and we found a house to rent - no lease, no deposit: Praise the Lord! We will be moving on August 21....
We did it! We are Tennesseans again! Now the big job of unpacking, organizing and getting used to this new place. The house wasn't exactly ready for us to move into, but we did anyway (not that we had much of a choice). The bathroom needs some work, one bedroom needs painted and various other little things need to be done. But let me just say: I love this house! 'Why?', you ask. NO STAIRS!!! No more little people (and me) tumbling down the stairs; no more running up and down the stairs because I forgot something (that happened often...too often)....
OK. Back to the present. We have been here for about 3 weeks (wow!) now, and I think we are finally getting our things settled. We are still getting used to the new place and the new pace, but I think we will be ok. The boys bedroom is painted. The bathroom is repaired, but needs new paint (let me just say: red and gold is an ugly color scheme for any room). And most of the minor repairs have been made. The landlord started painting the outside of the house (suprise) so now instead of a dirty yellow, it is becoming a nice shade of blue....
Yesterday was labor, and we had a great time - though Lucas may disagree with that statement. He got sick. Several times. But I think he's getting better. We (along with Andy, Mary and Cathy) went to Nick and Sarah's house and grilled out, played Wii and discovered that we were much older than we thought we were - except me, I'm still 29!
Whew! Now we're all caught up.
