Watermelon Shoes
Adeline asked to see her water smelling shoes and Annabelle’s water-melon shoes. 😉
Sippy Cups
We have our sippy cup drawer at easy access for the kids. Annabelle loves to get the cups out and try to match tops with cups. She gets very frustrated when they don’t fit together and makes cute noises of frustration.
Ooooh I didn’t know that!
Adeline’s favorite saying when something is exciting. For instance we told her that we were driving to Eva’s soccer game in Canton and that was her response.
Carolyn Saved
Adeline loves her cousin Eva so much that about 3 or 4 months ago she started wanting to pray for her friend Eva Szokola, and then also for our neighbor’s dog Ava (although she calls her Eva the dog). As we prayed for the dog, I started praying for her owners, that they would come … Read more
Grammy & Bops’ Shoes
Today mom and dad (Collister) went to Jacob Siemen’s first communion. So they only had their dress shoes when they left our house.

First Prayer
Please help Eva… long pause… thank you for the food (with Mommy’s help)… Amen
Annabelle the Screamer
Annabelle can’t stop finding more reasons to scream. When the vacuum is turned on, when she wants someone’s attention, when she doesn’t get her way, and especially if she is trying to put something together (ex. Find a sippy cup and top to put together.)
World of Goo
Adeline: Why do the goo balls look like that?
Daddy: I am not sure sweetie
Adeline: Because that’s the way Jesus made them
Story: Adeline loves to play World of Goo on the iPad. We play together almost every night right before bedtime. For the most part she is just happy to watch me play, but she is very engaged in what is going on. On every level she likes to find the pipe and read what the sign painter has to say. Here is a conversation from tonight.
Soul Surfer
Karalin and I went to see Soul Surfer last night and it was superb. The quality was not amazing, but story was just fantastic and inspirational. I was very surprised at the balance of christianity in the movie. It was definitely prevalent, but not annoying or pushy. It was one of the only movies I have … Read more
