While playing Twister tonight, Luke was explaining to Peter how to tell his left foot from his right foot. Luke said, “Peter, which hand do you write with?” After Peter figured this out, I told him to put the foot he doesn’t write with on the blue dot. Somehow this advice still left him confused!

A Face with a Name
January 24, 2008 – 11:57 pm
Yesterday I went to the eye doctor to have Peter’s glasses repaired (Bethany had bent them up pretty bad). I have only been to this office 2 times and was pregnant with Candice both times. As soon as I walked in, the receptionist said, “Oh, you had your baby!” Then, even though I only had [...]
