Quickie

Here is the quick new around our house:

Our two year old (James) had a stand-off with his Daddy tonight. He wanted to use the keys to open the door, he did not get to and as a result he screamed in the garage so the whole neighborhood would hear his complaint. In return, Daddy held his milk for ransom. It was an ugly battle but Daddy won and James is in bed with no milk, no stories, no Bible and a quick goodnight kiss.

Jacob is 11 weeks old and weighs in at 13 lbs and 8 oz. He is looking a little like a linebacker and is oh so cute. He laughed today for the first time when we played pat-a-cake. I love it!

Sophia started to randomly do math problems at dinner yesterday. She is actually pretty good and can do simple math like 2+3, 8+1, 45+0, etc. I don't know where she learned this (I asked her teacher and she said they haven't done addition yet) but I am assuming it is just the natural genius that she inherited from her mother :)

Jim is nailing down his details to Big Ben National Park. He is getting excited about the trip while I am getting anxious that he is going to be gone.

My update is that I have a cold, a yucky green gunk in your lungs cold. Cough Cough.
