Elijah at dinner (we had pizza and root-beer): Why does when you drink soda it makes your nose all bubbly??
Asher (he was told to sit down to eat his apple): But I love Jesus, Dad!
Asher again: I'm eating Jonah all up! I'm gonna eat Jesus! (we just read the story of Jonah in his children's Bible) This was said as he was "swimming" across the kitchen floor. I don't know when they made the kitchen the water, but it has been that way for a while. Maybe because they are often not allowed in the "water" when Mommy is busy in there. So the feeling that I have of drowning in dishes and kitchen work, might in fact, be real!
And more Asher! :) Asher loves to rock with his mommy. Ever since he was a newborn, and very often through his illnesses the last year we have spent many hours rocking and singing in my favorite chair. At night now, when I tuck him in he grabs his blanket and says in the sweetest voice, "I rock mommy, I rock with you." He is so used to my response that he gives it to me now, "Just a little bit, just five minutes." and he will even turn to his room-mate Rachael and say as we leave for the rocking chair, "You count Rachael." Rachael will keep track of the time as Asher and I rock and sing his two favorite songs, "Jesus Loves Me" and "Mighty to Save". He knows them both by heart.
What joy these little ones bring to our home
