Story: Eve's memory verse

Today Eve recited her memory verse that she got from church last week! We're very proud of how quickly and easily she memorized her verse. (We have memorized four or so verses over the course of a year, but this was the first time we gave her a verse and said, "Okay, let's memorize it for next time."

Her verse was 1 Peter 7:5b - "He cares for you."

Story: Naomi-isms (6/13/09)

Lately Naomi's been saying, "Iwwa wumpin to eat" so today I countered by handing her grapes and said, "Here's some Wumpin for you to eat."

Today we were at a birthday party and Naomi was climbing the big toy to go down the slide. First she started counting her steps as she went up, "1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11." But I think there were only 8 or 9 steps. The second time she went up, she counted off the steps again as she climbed up them. This time she said, "24 - 25 - 24 - 25 -24 - 25 - 24 - 25."

Wow. She's got those numbers down. =^)

Eve's actually an excellent cook (at age 3)! She can stir pots and pans, grate cheese, set tables (plates, bowls, utensils, napkins, salad dressing, etc.), get people water, and even break eggs better than I can! She can honestly say that she's been cooking almost her whole life.

Naomi breaks out the monkey backpack that she wore all the time on the Alaska cruise in September.

News: On to formula

In news, we decided to switch over to formula. Joanna is eating up and gained 12 ounces in 5 days, so she's doing well!

I'm also continuing the job hunt. I've done one informational interview with more lined up. Please pray for us as I look for a job. Thanks!
