A silly conversation between Luke and me:
L: It’s silliness.
T: It’s not silliness.
L: Did I say it’s silliness?! It’s silliness!
T: Okay. It’s silliness. Whatever you say….it’s silliness.
L: Okay. I’ll shut up now…..

Silliness

Ni Hao? Xie Xie?

Bethany is really picking up on the few Chinese words we use regularly. I had heard that small children pick up on a new language more easily, but it is interesting to see it happen myself. It is obvious that she is able to recognize words that are Chinese because when she hears one Chinese [...]
Engineer in Training
March 28, 2008 – 10:47 pm
Several months ago I realized that Phillip seems to have a natural knack for engineering and things that take a lot of concentration. While playing a game of monopoly for family night one night, I looked over at Phillip and saw that he was lining up the hotels and houses in perfectly straight lines. Since [...]
I Love You!
March 27, 2008 – 7:57 pm
Bethany has learned to say “I love you,” and it’s so adorable I just had to share it! (Oh how I wish I’d had a blog and/or known how to use one when my other children were this age!).
Visual Bible
March 26, 2008 – 10:32 pm
One of Anna’s favorite movies to watch is the book of Matthew in the Visual Bible. The Visual Bible is word for word from the Bible and shows what verse is being acted out at the bottom of the screen. The actors are really good, too!
Monday the kids wanted to watch a movie and requested [...]
Bethany's Blurbs
March 25, 2008 – 3:49 pm
While out and about, Bethany and I visited a bathroom where music was playing from a speaker overhead. Bethany looked up and said, “Who’s singin’?.” After I told her it was the radio, she just looked up again and said, “Who’s singin’ up dere?” Evidently she didn’t quite understand how invisible people could sing on [...]
Disobedient Tears
March 24, 2008 – 11:47 pm
Today Luke had a discussion with our boys about being tough. Because Peter was crying over nothing, Luke told them that only some things are worth crying about. Examples would be when you lose a loved one or when you realize you hurt someone else’s feelings. Of course there are other instances, too, but the [...]
Hunting in the Forest
March 23, 2008 – 9:43 pm
Well….not technically a forest. It was actually just a small group of pine trees on one side of a park. This is where we had a little family Easter egg hunt today.
The kids had a blast hunting eggs and then got to play on the playground. Bethany actually enjoyed a playground for the first time. [...]
Anna's First Appliance
March 21, 2008 – 10:56 pm
We have known for months that Anna was in need of orthodontic treatment. She took the first step in that direction this week when she got her first appliance (as they call it). She sleeps in a device called a T4K. Since braces are not put on until all the permanent teeth are in, this [...]
