Roll over

Last night we all went over to some friends' house (Joel, Heidi and Clara) to eat. Liza put Zach down in Clara's bed to take a little nap on his tummy. About 20 min later I heard him and went in to get him and he was just happy as could be, laying on his back. He had rolled over for the first time and we weren't there to see it. He's growing fast!

Go Round!

"Ashee Ashee.. Fall Down!" These are the words that Isabella loves to sing as she goes round and round in the kitchen or just about anywhere. She'll do it alone, but she is happiest if someone will go "round round" with her. Today I (Chris) was going with her and I asked her if she would like Hoosier (our dog) to do it as well. This pleased her to no end. Later, after dinner, she went back in the kitchen and proclaimed "Dog round!" and grabbed the dog by the harness.


Unfortunately for her, the dog is stronger than her, so it was a short lived game. She thought it was fun anyway and giggled quite a lot.

Startup

We've been thinking of starting this for a long time. Today we had to create a user account to post things to our New parents class' blog, so now seems like a great time to start!
We'll mostly talk about our kids I'm sure... and here's the first story.

Last night I (Chris) was putting Isabella to bed. We prayed as we always do- we ask her who she'd like to pray for and she starts with "Ashley! Katie! AA!" which are friends of ours. Baby Nisa and Dawn have also been favorites as of late. So, we prayed and then when we were done, she said "Leesas bye bye, Daddy." "What?" I asked. "Leesas bye bye, daddy?" I said, "No, Mommy Liza is not bye bye." "No, Jee-sus bye bye?" Ahh! "No," I said, "Jesus is here. He lives in Daddy's heart. He lives in Mommy's heart too.'
She thought about this for a second and said, "Jee-sus Bell heart?" It just about made me cry. I told her He would live in her heart if she wanted him too. She then went on to name all the people who had Jesus in thier hearts, which again included Ashley, AA and baby Nissa. I didn't argue. :-)
