Coloring Contest Circuit

Our  nine-year-old has been traveling the coloring contest circuit this past year.  Her last win was a DSI from a local contest, which was an extremely generous prize.  On our way to the store to pick up her prize my beaming daughter said, "I must be very talented with the coloring arts." 

JUST KIDDING: Tooth Fairy Letter

JUST KIDDING: Tooth Fairy Letter: "Nine-year-old Jae pulled her lose tooth last night. She planned to stay all night with her big sister, but was nervous the Tooth Fairy..."

Tooth Fairy Letter

Nine-year-old Jae pulled her lose tooth last night.  She planned to stay all night with her big sister, but was nervous the Tooth Fairy wouldn't know where to find her.  So....she wrote The Tooth Fairy this letter and left it on her bed.

Melancholy

Mom was sad... winter blahs or just one of those days. She was
trying to read her book, but tears kept running down her face.  So, Dad starts
in with "20 questions" trying to guess what's wrong. Is it ___?  Is it ___? Is
it ___?  Six-year-old Carter was sitting next to her trying to watch his movie, while listening to
the whole thing.  He said one word, "melancholy."  He put his arm around Mom
and patted her shoulder.

I love that boy. 

I Like Donkeys

Little bro:  I like donkeys.  They have a hump in their back.


Big sis:  Jake, that's a camel!
Little bro:  Oh

Chevi Chia

My wonderful friends opened their hearts and homes and adopted four amazing boys over the years.  The latest arrival to the family is Chevi---an amazing preschool boy with light brown skin and black, curly hair that Mom describes as dry.  Older brother Matthew got a Barack Obama Chia Head for Christmas. It is growing quite a head of hair now. Chevi looked at it the other day and said, "Hey, that guy looks like me!"
