Such Language!

I just realized that during my tiny break from blogging that I neglected to document my current favorite Ada story.......lets flash back to about a month ago:

Tehya and Ada were playing in their room, and I overheard some bickering starting.  Tehya has recently taken to telling Ada "Stop talking to me" when she is frustrated or has decided that she has had enough little sister time, so I thought it was particularly funny to hear Ada copy-cat her sister and say to Tehya "Stop talking Sissy!"

What happened next surprised us though.  She came out of their bedroom with one hand on her hip and a very exasperated look on her face.  She sighed a bit dramatically and said "My sissy PISSIN me off!!" 

Such language for a little lady!!!

Is Honesty really the best policy?

WARNING!!
Cute Kid Story Ahead......


I caught Tehya in a small fib.  When she decided to stick with her story of innocence, I asked her "Do you think I'm stupid"?

Her response was "Mom, I don't think you want me to answer that honestly".

Priceless.

Joe loved God, his family and friends, history, nature, and the Minnesota Twins. Special thanks to all who have supported Joe and his family.

Grandpa Joe will be dearly missed, and remembered by all with many fond memories. 

Stories about the old homestead, tales of the aunts and uncles growing up, pockets full of treats at the baseball games, nature lessons on countless walks through the woods and affectionate kisses on our foreheads are just some of the things that will always come to mind when thinking about him.  Tehya put it best in saying "I have another grandpa angel to watch over me now".

Back in the Saddle Again....

Hello!  I have been away from the blog for a while now and have decided it is time to get this back on track and up to date.  The winter months have started to take their toll on our household and cabin fever has reared its ugly head.  We have been busy with small projects around the house to keep us from dwelling on the cold weather.
Mom is itching to get in the gardens and has been repotting, moving and adding to the houseplant collection.  Tehya's bedroom has been moved downstairs and she loves having her own space away from her little sister.  Ada will be moving downstairs into her own room as well, however mom and dad have to get the room cleaned out and painted for her before that can happen. 
Dan has been busy patching and painting some spots on the walls to freshen things up, and I have been tossing around the idea of repainting the livingroom with a brighter color.  Spring fever indeed!!
More posts to follow shortly with some things from the last couple of months...
