Christmas Pageant

-



Sam's Mother's Day Out had a Christmas Pageant on Tuesday night. His class had been practicing for several weeks for their small part of the program. We'd been practicing at home too and we all knew the songs very well. They were Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Star and Mary had a Baby sung to the tune of "The More we Get Together". It really sticks in your head.
Anyway, the pageant was Tuesday and we all went down to the church to see Sam perform. Davis was very, very jealous. He wanted to be the star and NOT the audience. (I wonder where he got that from.) Mom and Dad came too to watch our baby sing. We got the camera ready and he came right out to the edge of the railing. He did great. He was happy and followed direction well. And then he didn't sing. He gazed around at the audience with a faint smile on his face, but he wouldn't open his mouth. Davis sang. Loudly. But not Sam. When the songs finished and the audience applauded, Sam smiled and walked out to me.
On the way home he sang as loudly as he could. It was precious.
I want to do talent shows all the time for my kids. Davis is all over that idea. Want to join us?

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
