A muffin for God/Thomas Screams/Callie's Flower

I noticed a muffin container at the very top of the bookshelf. I asked Emmy about it tonight. She told me, "It's for God for when I go to Heaven." I laughed. Later I asked her whether it was for her to eat when she was in Heaven or for God. She told me it is for God. She said she put it up high so God could eat it now, but God hasn't eaten it. As she said that, her face lit up as the light bulb went on and she realized "Oh, God eats everything I eat, right? Because God is in here, in my heart, so I guess God has already had muffins!"

Thomas starting screaming with joy today. He did it yesterday for Grandma. While Thomas smiles all the time, I've never heard him laugh, but he did that yesterday too :) Happy days.

Callie has a little buddy Emmett. He's super cute and follows her around smiling at her. The other day she had a little flower in her lunch box. I asked her about it and she said that Emmett gave it to her. Then she told me later, "Well Emmett found that flower and I said, I can just have it Emmett." It's a flower from the flower arrangement that are the centerpieces for their little lunch tables. She eats with her friends Emmett and Faith. The night she brought it home, as she was trying to fall asleep for bed she made me get it for her so she could hold it while she fell off to sleep. I was saving it for her, but her daddy sucked it up in the vacuum yesterday. I asked where it went. He asked what it was. When I told him he made some noise like that's where the boy's flower should be. Poor Caddie.

Big Red is Three Months Old!!!

While it feels like we've had our little guy forever, at the same time I still can't believe he's already three months old. We had his TWO month appt a few days ago. He's 23 1/2 inches and 14lbs 3oz. He's had 5 colds since he's been here, thanks to his big sisters :) and one ear infection.

He's a chatty little guy and he sure knows how to complain. He loves his sisters. All they have to do is look at him and he smiles away.

Future Occupations

So Callie told me yesterday that when she gets older she's going to be a carebear. Today she changed her mind and said she's going to be tinkerbell. I asked her about being a carebear and she smiled at me and said "I'm going to do two, momma! A carebear and tinkerbell!" Later in the night, right before bed, she told me that she's going to be three things: "a mamma, a tinkerbell and a carebear." She went on to explain that she's going to wear her tinkerbell costume on bottom, her carebear costume on top and be a mom too. she's got it all figured out. I bet Johnstone would allow a major that would prepare her for this! Her Montessori education will feed right into Johnstone College. Great planning!

Emmy has her hopes set on being a waitress. Yeah. I told her that'd be a great job for when she's in college. She's not going to college, she wants to stay at home. Don't worry, we have a plan. She's going to stay at home and be a Legacy Student at Redlands :) Actually, I hope all of my babies do that, wouldn't that be fun? She also wants to be a doctor or a firefighter so she can ride around in the big red truck. Two weeks ago Emmy came to me very excited and said "Mom, I know what I want to be when I grow up! You know the girl who pushes the thing and makes the food come at the grocery store???" Me: "The checkout girl?" Emmy: "YEAH, MOM!! That's what I want to do!"

Thomas is going to be a pediatric dentist or a radiologist. Sunil says he should be a dermatologist since it's the highest paid non urgent field in medicine, right Seeno? Emmy was going to be an ER doctor and Callie a pediatric dentist, but since Callie's going to be Tinkerbell and a Carebear and Emmy's going to be a checkout girl (which I actually think is a great job w/ a good union and good benefits), Thomas has to be the doctor. I have to have one. I figure Belinda and I are really going to turn into hypochondriacs when we get older. We need someone in the family we can call who won't bill insurance (or who will at least bill insurance only!).

Random Pictures of My Munchkins

The girls with their little man :) They love him so much. He gets picked up and kissed constantly. He wears pretty necklaces and got his first hair accessory today :) He wore it for a few hours before Shad asked why he had a clip in his hair. Emmy chatting w/ Thomas before school. Our Happy Emmy Lou.

Our cute little guy with his first hat. I'm trying to keep him from being a constant hat guy like his daddy. Our little guy is all smiles :)

Callie oh so sad that her grandma left. Now she's happy!
Thomas dressed for his first court appearance. He didn't quite make it into the courtroom as he got crabby. He did make it through the metal detector, but grandma took him on a scenic walk around the court houses in Riverside.
Thomas cracking up at Callie and her toy. Don't mind Callie's bedhead :)

The girls started Tball and so far they love it. It's the cutest thing in the world to watch. When they're in the outfield, the whole team runs for the ball. So cute! So far Emmy likes Soccer more than Tball and she can't wait for the fall so she can play soccer again. Callie can't play soccer until next year, she misses the cut off by 11 days :( The girls are also doing circus, so their schedules have totally taken over ours. During May when they have their circus performances, we'll be busy bees.

Emmy's first Tball Game!
