Bubby Talks. . .

At dinner the other night Bubby says to his daddy, "Daddy, guess what you do when you lose your way? . . . You get back up again." This prompted us to a rousing game of, "It's never to late. . .to get back up again." "This is love calling. . .love calling. . .out to the broken." You TobyMac fans out there will recognize the lyrics from, Get Back Up Again. Not only was this a fun dinner (Really every dinner with the Bubster is fun. The kid is hilarious), it was heart warming for us as parents. To hear our little boy, sharing such wisdom. Sure, it may just be a catchy little song today. But think about the songs you can still sing verbatim from your childhood. Isn't it great that Toby Mac has put something so powerful and meaningful out there, so God has been etched on the heart of my boy? Somehow, my recall of Where Oh Where Can my Baby Be seems so unimpressive.

E is for Enormous. . .

as in my belly.


This week is Bubby's 5th Birthday, so I'm a bit nostalgic. Here I am a few weeks before he was born. Can we say ENORMOUS? Wow. I hurt just looking at that picture. No wonder my belly doesn't look like it did back in the early 90's.

The lovely letters come to you in honor of my friend Lorri. Remember, I'm playing The Alphabet Photography game over at Mac & Cheese Chronicles.

D is for Discomfort

I'm playing the Alphabet Photo game with my friend Lorri over at Mac and Cheese Chronicles. In honor of the letter D, I give you The General. He just got his braces on today. While it was really cool. . .for about an hour, the discomfort has set in. I think this may be a really good life lesson for my boy.
