Growth Spurt?

So this week, my normally happy boy has pitched a fit in Walmart, cried at the drop of the hat, fallen asleep at lunch instead of eating, and decided that if Mommy's in the kitchen fixing food he needs to be in his highchair ready to eat. Now, you'd think it wouldn't be much of a problem except for the fact that I normally starting dinner prep around 4, not planning on eating until 5!

So I don't know if it's a growth spurt, or teeth, or the time change, or possibly a combination of all three, maybe even none of the above, but Gabe has not been his usual cheerful self. That being said, he does still have his funny moments and his laughing, all his funny looks and words, and oh yeah, his amazing powers of sleep!

Callie amazes me in her observations everyday. Today, she was eating her treat and she had three left. She placed them in a right triangle and said, "Look, Mommy!' I looked and I said, "Yes, there are three left now, aren't there?" She replies, "Yes, but look at the shape. It's a letter L!"

One of her favorite things to do lately is look at ALL the toy catalogs that have been coming to the house lately. In fact, she thinks they are HER magazines. Today, I heard her "reading" the paragraph about the toy aquarium she had found. "In this aquarium, you can see lots of fish. Look! There's a dolphin hidden behind that rock!"

She's quite the little character! I cannot believe how close she is to 4 years old! It blows my mind that time can move so fast!

Well, that's a mini update for this week! I hope you all have a good rest of the week! God bless you and yours!

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
