An Act of God: Lightning vs. Earthquake

August was a month of memorable events. Jason got home from from a trip to the States on August 6th. On August 8th Graham turned 5 and Jason and I commemorated our 9th wedding anniversary. Within two days, Jason was wiped out with what was diagnosed as "glandular fever" ("mono" for our American friends and family). I got called as the YW president in our ward.

Oh, and we became pregnant. We thought we were done. We REALLY thought we were done growing our family. But apparently Heavenly Father thinks differently.

Graham has dubbed the baby Earthquake, but that's only if Earthquake is a boy. If it turns out that he gets solo-boy status, our little girl is Lightning.

Self-Awareness

Jason just asked, "Rosie, are you a cheeky girl?"

Rosie, "No, I'm a cheeky Rosie."

A Surprisingly Mature Insight

Cami and I were talking about her relationship with one of her best friends. Apparently, they've daydreamed about being sisters, but then Cami revealed that she thinks they wouldn't get along as well if they were sisters. Intrigued, I asked her to explain. "Well, I think Graham and I would be along better if we were just friends. . . ."

Toys for Big Boys and Girl

Jason took the big kids to the park while Rose & I napped this afternoon. He spent some time experimenting with his iPhone. I love the color of the sky and the happiness of the big girl who has conquered her bike.

Graham's interpretation of the "Tree" yoga pose.

And making some friends.

Moooooo

"Soy milk comes from soy cows."

He's Not Beckham

Cami got a surprised laugh out of me & Jason when she asked, "Dad will you quit your job & become a footballer?"

I Should Do This

Rosie is the most positive little girl I know. Honestly. She routinely makes me smile by declaring, "Mommy, I'm so proud of you!" But she made me super happy today when she announced, "I love my life!"
