Monday Afternoon

Just got back from taking Aedan to the doctor. He has a cough and fever. However, there's nothing extra wrong with him, so we're going to stop spoiling him and make him buck up. His whining is becoming annoying. Rowan took his bear this morning and then hit him the face and Aedan just cried bitterly instead of doing anything about it.

Other than that we're all well.

If you want to post please just send it to me on email: revakennedy@hotmail.com
and I will put it up. I'm trying to work up an instruction sheet for posting but I'm not very good about step by step instructions so its going to take a while.

Sunday Conversation with Emma

In the church kitchen while I fold bulletins.
Emma: Am I on time?
Me: For what?
Emma: For my meeting. Am I on time for my meeting?
Me: Oh yes. You’re on time.
Emma: You can’t hear me. I’m upstairs in a meeting…Dear Jesus, how are you?...
Ok, Mommy, my meeting is over, I’m going home.
Me: Good bye.

Emma at home in the evening.
Emma: You wanna know what I’m going to be when I blow up?
Matt: Yes.
Emma: I’m gonna be a doll fixer. I’m gonna fix dolls with holes.

Hi everyone

Megan is trying to get Caden to sleep in a toddler bed, She found one at a resale shop that is a police car! Caden loves it but as for sleeping, he prefers the crib! I will ask her to blog about it. I'm not sure she knows how to go about it because she was going to post some pictures and hasn't yet, so I will tell her how to post. Don't know how to address everyone...first second or third person!! This sounds more like I am writing to Anne, but It is really to everyone.

I am looking forward to the family using this alot even if it is short snippets of information about what is going on in everyone's lives.

I'm just busy with Las Donas.Im doing the Farewell Fiesta this year so am having meetings at our house with the committee which means redecorating and landscaping! That is a bit of an exageration, but I do find myself planting flowers and doing some obvious freshening up in the house....this is Mama's fault. Having company when I was growing up often included cleaning out kitchen cabinets, re slipcovering the couch and definetely at the least having bouquets of flowers everywhere. I am proud to carry on this obsession!!Thanks for posting this Anne. I have told Helen and Barbs about it so they can check up on it too.

Love, Mom, Shawn, Mimi

school

We took Emma to the kindergarten open house today at Ross Corners Christian Academy, the school we're considering for the fall. We took Aedan to the preschool open house last week. Both classes were very impressive. They're small, about 10 kids in each one, and cheerful and up beat. The teachers both have really good control of the class. I'm amazed at the level of each class. I can't really remember, but I believe that I learned in first grade what these kids learn in kindergarten. Emma will, by the end of the year, be reading and writing and able to rattle of several longer passages of scripture. Aedan will learn 26 verses--one for each letter of the alphabet ("A: All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. B: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. etc.) And he will be able to write his name and read it, among other things.

Its going to massively change our lives. They'll have to be there at 8am every morning, which means leaving our house at 7:30, which means I will seriously have to get out of bed in the morning. Gasp.
