Jude is still 5 months away from his 6th birthday, but he is already starting to assemble his birthday list. He said to me tonight, “Can we like get a llama? That’s going to be what I want for my birthday. Please! I really want a llama for my birthday!”
It worked out and Toffee found a new home tonight. The lady is a total cat lover. She has 2 other older cats and 2 kids, ages 5 and 10. I think she’ll give Toffee an even better home than us. She’s even going to have Toffee sleep with her tonight and keep her away …

Little Levi got to go to Sam’s Club with us last night while Jude was at bible memory club. So, Levi got to pick out the cereal. He yelled out, “bug cereal!” I wasn’t sure what he meant until I saw him pointing at the Honey Nut Cheerios with a little bee on the front. …
Tonight I took Jude with me to vote. It was a nice, educational experience for him. He pulled up a chair to stand on so he could help me fill out the ballot. The first vote we cast was for President. I asked him his opinion and I think he was confused when he saw …
