It was apparently a circus as usual at our house yesterday. While I was at work, the boys were running wild, like normal. Andy turned away for just a minute and Jude ran down the stairs and Asher (who was crawling) decided to follow him. Asher fell down 3 stairs and then Jude raced up …

At Sarah Proper’s (Harter’s) wedding gift opening on Sunday, a strange thing happened. There were dozens and dozens of gifts in nice boxes and bags. But, Levi was fascinated only with 3 presents. He dragged the first one over and kept pointing at it and saying “choo choo.” He clearly and mistakenly thought there was …
Levi still doesn’t talk much for being 2 years and 3 months old. But, he’s adding words more frequently now. He now says, “No way.” He also said, “No, mama” and “blue car.”  He says, “I too” for “me too.” I can only think that may be a translation of “Ich auch” (literally “I also” in German). …
On the way to Jude’s doctor’s appointment this morning, I was explaining to him different things they were going to check, including his vision. He said, “I can see really good. I can see up to space and that is really far away. The sun and the moon are in space and I can see …
Last night Jude hadn’t had a nap so he was just a total crab. I asked him to clean up his toys. When he didn’t do it, I said that he could leave out whatever toys he wanted to donate or sell in a garage sale. Then he decided he wanted to have a garage …

Jude has been going to children’s church for maybe 8 months or so and I just learned some embarrassing stuff. First of all, I guess they take an offering each week and use the money to buy gospel materials for poor children in other countries or whatever ministry they select for the year. Jude never …
Asher is just 8 months old, but is already table walking and walking with a walker. It’s really crazy to see since he’s so little and skinny. He just looks too small for that. But, he’s far to eager to keep up with his cool brothers so he’s right on their tail. Jude and Levi …
Levi is talking more and more. He now has come up with a way to refer to baby Asher — “Bobo.” It’s so cute. He is so nurturing towards Asher and kisses and hugs him a lot. We also saw his nurturing side last week. We ended up taking a baby girt doll home from …
Most of the bills for our recent week in the hospital with Levi and Asher have arrived and our share will amount to $8,000. I work on health plans for a living and believe that the plan I’m covered under through work is the worst I’ve seen as far as premiums and out of pocket …
