Yes, Asher (16 months old) is talking. Mostly easy words like, “mama,” “baby,” “Jude.” But, last night he scared the heck out of me by jumping off the bed like the way his much bigger brothers do it. Then after Levi knocked the wind out of himself by jumping off the bed in the nursery …

Successful Story
It was another successful funny story last night. Jude didn’t throw up, but did get the hiccups. He said of my funny story, “You made me get new kinds of laughs.” He then went across the hall to where Andy was laying down with Levi and said, “If you thought I was screaming, I was …
Jude’s View on My Work
Jude is definitely never happy on work days. He lives for “stay home days” and thinks it’s just awful that I only get 2 stay home days a week. Nevertheless, he thinks I have a great job. He offered up his thoughts on my job last night. He said something like, “You get to look …
Jude’s Quote of the Day
After Jude learned that I had vacuumed up one of his Ninjago parts, he was crying and told me, “That’s one thing I don’t like about you. You vacuum up my toys.” (We managed to recover it much to Jude’s surprise and delight.)
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Jude went grocery shopping with Andy today and surprised me by buying a mango. He explained by saying, “You know why I got a mango? I’m getting old. I probably have a taste bud for mangos even though I’ve never tried them.”

Levi yelled to Jude when Jude was playfully trying to chop off my ponytail with the remote control helicopter that he was piloting dangerously close to me, “No Jude! No POW my mommy!”
Jude’s Quote of the Day
“Mommy, can you lay down with me? I’m more tired than a lady bug who hasn’t had a nap in a year… . Now I’m infinity times more tired than a monkey with a broken nose. Really, I am.”
Red Tape
Normally red tape is a bad thing associated with government delay. But, not this time. Jude had karate last night and earned a red tape for his white belt. They do red, white and then blue tape before the next white belt with a gold stripe is awarded. Although I learned earlier that belts are …
Loving Levi
Little Levi is such a loving, gracious little boy. Being the middle brother, he gets it from both ends. Jude smacks and bullies Levi around quite a bit and is constantly trying to parent Levi and impose all sorts of crazy rules on him. Levi often cries and says, “Jude told me.†Levi’s English isn’t …
Asher the Identity Thief
Asher is super cute. He loves to get laughs. Whenever I ask him what his name is he responds, “Jude,” with a laugh. Funny guy.
