So, it turns out that Asher was not ready to be weaned after 2 weeks’ separation when I was in Israel.  We’ll do that down the road at some undetermined time.  Last night, I told Asher it was time for bed.  He wanted to run back downstairs and get his cup.  He yelled out to me, …

“Can you get me a jumpy castle for my birthday?”  (He’s really planning ahead.  He won’t be 3 years old for another 5 months.)

“Jesus getting stabbed to the cross.  The solider getting his ear chopped off.  There is a lot of fighting in the bible.”

Jude came to me this morning with an extra wiggly tooth.  I told him to hold still and I’d run get the video camera and see if we could record him wiggling it out.  I was gone for less than a minute.  When I got back, Jude had a mischievous look on his face and …
