Call Off the Search Party! We're OK!

I know it has been a while since I posted something out here, but I had no idea I missed the entire year of two thousand twelve!  Time to get on the ball!

I hope to do more shorter posts with more pictures.  I realize, though, that these posts are more for our family's benefit than anyone else's.  In fact, it's been nice reading some of the previous posts and remembering some great times!  I love my family!  God is good!

Let's Be Careful Out There

As Heather and Livvi were leaving the house to go to Tae Kwon Do class, I yelled to them "Be careful!"

Joie looks at me and says, "Daaaddy...There aren't any dragons there!"

Whew!  Good to know!

Compassion

Jo: I want a cat for a pet.

Liv: We can't! I'm allergic to cats.

Jo: Yeah, I know, but too bad.

 

Protection

Very early Sunday morning, the storm woke everyone up. I was laying with Joie since she was a little scared. After laying there for a couple of minutes, she said, "I'll protect you and you protect me."

Good Night

The usual routine when Livvi says good night to Joie:

Livvi: "Good night"
Joie: "Good night"

Livvi: "I love you"
Joie: "I love you"

Livvi: "Sleep good"
Joie: "Sleep good"

Livvi: "Nighty night"
Joie: "Nighty night"

Livvi: "Sleep tight"
Joie: "Sleep tight"

Livvi: "Don't let the bed bugs bite"
Joie: "OK"

The Problem with Homophones

Heather sent me an email this morning that read as follows:

"She (Joie) had me read the story of the prodigal son to her. At the end I asked: Why did the son leave? Her answer: To get the moon out.

Think about it..."

Inside the Mind of Joie

This morning, Joie was looking at Heather, squinting through one eye, head tilted. Her fingers were in a scissors motion in front of her face. Then she says, "I didn't really cut your head off, just pretend."

Should we be worried?
