C.C.R.
The furrowed brow. Excavating is serious business. The other day at a park Colson was playing on an excavating toy and a little girl came over and asked: "Whatcha Doin'?"
"I'm on the excavator."
"Whatcha Doin'?" she asked again.
"I'm on the excavator. You want me to scoop some dirt for you?"
As if all a little girl wants is a scoop of dirt from a boy. haha. So he starts scooping dirt and she comes over with a handfulls and starts helping. It was pretty cute.

LIttle Warrior
We're shaping a man out of this little one. It's important for me, as mom, to remember the ultimate picture. I asked KC the other day, "What's more glorious than a baby?" His response: "When they're grown." Oh yeah! :) Train them up in the way that they shall go and they will not depart from it. One of God's promises to us and I believe it. He is not too young to obey, he's not too young to have faith. This spirited little boy, this bright eyed little warrior, has blessed us indeed, and we're excited to see God using him in his Kingdom.

Birthday
This is the only picture I got of Colson at his birthday bbq. I was a little too busy to take pictures. He's having to consentrate really hard to make only 3 fingers stand up.
Here we are singing him a birthday song. He's so pleased and we sang it to him twice. What a cute boy.

It's Official
It's true, we've entered into a new chapter of parenthood. I'm officially a SOCCER MOM! And here's the mini-van to prove it...I'm lovin' every minute of it. Someday maybe I'll even drive a van full to soccer practice. All we know is that the forrester wasn't cuttin' the grade any longer. I think I love the idea of soccer-mom. The term suites me well right now.
Speaking of right now, there is an 80 degree breeze floating through the air and gently massaging my bare arms and legs. Summer is a great gift and we're thankful the chances of snow are zero.
We're gearing up for a birthday party tomorrow for our little boy. He's definately now boy. Toddler is on its way out, and boy is on its way in.

Pics at Eve
I'm enjoying learning this process very much. it's a scary mode to get outside of auto, but I think that it will be worth it down the road. Here are some favorites: I particularly love the last one, where you can see KC's strong hands on Lewis' sweet little barrel back.

Faces of us - Defying the Odds - and a Book for Wayward Weathery Days
Oh wow, I have a feeling these two boys are going to raise much mischief in our home. This looks like they are scheming already.
Look at their chins. I love how the shadow shows their matching dimples.
The forcast calls for cool, windy, rainy weather this week. It's June for Pete's sake. BLAH! YUCK! KC reminded me that Hawaii will be that much sweeter in light of this ongoing blah Northern Idaho weather.
-----------------------
In baby news: Go Lewis go! Grow Grow Grow. I took him to the doctor last week. He's in the 95th percentile for heigth. It would be a joyous thing to pass up his parents in this catergory.
-----------------------
In book news: We took a bunch of books to a bookstore that gives store credit and came home with some real gems. I'm currently engulfed in one of them; a book written by Eugene H Peterson entitled, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places: a conversation in spiritual theology. It is a beautifully written book, very poetic and full of conviction. I'm sure I'll be sharing some great qoutes and ideas that have really hit home with me.

Hit and Miss
I'm reading in the living room when the almost-3 year old comes in and says, with his britches around his ankles, "I went poopoo in potty Mommy. I went pee on the floor."
Awesome.
I have also learned that potty training, for me, would be nearly impossible without Clorox Wipes. Little boys are messy and their aim is poor. I follow up every bathroom break with Clorox Wipes.
Closer to 30.
Slept in.
Breakfast at Old European.
Lazy drive to the Big City of Spokane.
Banana Republic.
Sellas for Dinner.
Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
and
an episode of The Office.
Lewis also gave me a birthday gift: he slept for 8 hours last night. He's a stud.

This Boy
(in the bathtub)
Colson: Is that my bottom right there?
KA: Yes
C: Is that a hole right there?
KA: Yes, and don't touch it, please.
C: Is that a hole right there, where the poop lives?
KA: Yes, Colson, that's where the poop lives. Did you hear me!?! Don't touch it!
KA: Colson, no, you don't try to pick up your brother.
Colson: yeah, that's only for womenses.

The Evolution of a Coffee Junkie
I'm curious, particularly from those of you that commented on my last post and share a love with me of your cup of Java, how did it start for you? Did you start with a tin of Folgers and a black Mr. Coffee pot? or did you start out like me, with the sweet stuff that evolved into the richness and joy of the pure flavor? Do you still only drink coffee from a "coffee shop"? or, did you start drinking coffee in some greasy-spoon diner somewhere? Let's here it.
