Out of the mouths of babes...

Some days, when Pam, our babysitter sends me a text, it's not good news. Someone has a temperature or is snotty or just plain isn't acting like they are feeling good. Sometimes when she texts it's another kind of bad news...she's out of formula or diapers, which in turn means we've got to go drop a serious amount of cash to restock the shelves at her house. And sometimes, well, sometimes all I can send to her in response, is O.M.G. THAT ... was today.

Pam: Did you know weird is not a bad word, but shit is and that you can't go outside in your underwear and...

Pam: that farts stink and if his dad  does it, you have to run outside?

Me. OMG

Pam: Yes, we had a good conversation giong. Said if you say bad words you eat soap

Me: What a shit!

Pam: Okay, is crap a bad word, it's not at my house...

Me.: haha...No?

Pam: Sorry it took so long, cleaning up your little ones crap, shit, poop...all I know was it was nasty!

Me: Hahah...I love my kids!

Pam: Me too, they are funny.

And you know what -- I know she does love my kids, or she wouldn't email me with such random stories as this. I mean honestly -- where does the kid come up with this stuff? He does not drop those words around us...perhaps he knows better, and is only pushing the boundaries with Pam? With Colton ... it's hard telling. And you know what -- I simply love that about him. Today, Pam's texts...MADE. MY. DAY!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
