Prayers Please!

If you read our blog today, I would appreciate it if you would pray for my Dad. He is having his hip replaced. I'll give an update after the surgery. Thanks in advance.

Update- Dad made it through surgery. Everything went well and the loss of blood was minimal. Please pray that he won't have much blood loss over the next 24 hours.

Like other kiddos his age, BA doesn't separate reality from fiction, nor does he discern past from present. He often prays for people in the Bible as if they are still living. For example, from time to time he prays for Jonah- "that he would obey God." This week he was praying for Dinky and Boomer (the two birds in The Fox and the Hound). His request was that they "praise you (God) and seek you (God.)" We know that eventually he will stop praying for things that aren't "real," but in the mean time, we enjoy the sweetness of the prayers.

BA's Money

BA is learning that some of his toys are a choking hazard for his brother. I have been trying to teach him that we keep those things in a dresser drawer, on top of his desk, or dresser. I heard him with some change the other day, so I asked him what he was doing. He replied, "I'm putting my money up so CJ won't choke on it." When I walked into the room, the picture shows what I found.

New Bed

Some of the furniture we received from Ben's grandparent's house was a bedroom suit (bed, dresser, and desk) for BA. This was originally his Papa's furniture when he lived with his parents. BA just grins when he says, "I'm sleeping in Papa's bed." Thankfully, there is another matching twin bed for CJ when he gets big enough for it.

Mississippi

Last weekend we met my parents in Mississippi to get some furniture we were given from Ben's grandparent's house. We enjoyed visiting- though it was a very quick 24 hour type visit. My parents brought BA a kitten that is about 5-6 weeks old. He was in love from the beginning, kissing the kitten and repeatedly saying , "Oh, I just love this kitty. I just love you kitty." Time was spent was sweet, and we look forward to seeing Grandpa and Grandma again.

Preacher Boy

On Sunday something very funny happened at church. As we were finishing up our "meet and greet" time, I sat down on the pew. I watched as Braden walked a pew or two past us. When I told him to come sit down, he said, "I'm going to preach." It was pretty hard not to laugh at him. He was serious! To shed some light on the circumstance, he was wearing his "preacher suit" for Easter like Daddy's!

Happy Easter!

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

While visiting family in FL, BA asked this question after a shopping trip to Wal-Mart:

"Mom, can we take this Walmart home with us or not?"

And of course I told him we couldn't...it wouldn't fit in our van! LOL!
