Adam's Newest Numbers

This post will probably bore anyone else out there. But for me, it is a way of recording for my boys.

Adam went to the Dr. this week for his 7 year check-up. I was very pleased when they weighed him he was 45.5 pounds. He has gained about 3 pounds since the last time I checked.

His height was 46.25. At our house we do not go by how much you have grown. We go by how much more do I have to grow to get out of the booster seat! (and sometimes it is the water slide at the pool) At this point I think he has about 10 more inches until he can get out of the booster seat!

At other appointments for his check-ups, the Dr. always said that Adam was in about he 10% for his height and weight. Somehow, I'm not sure how, he has jumped to almost the 25%. He is growing!

2nd Tooth

The boys went to the dentist on Monday. After the appointment the dentist came out to tell me how things were looking. They had no cavities, but Adam had a loose tooth and he said that this tooth needed to come out (preferable by wiggling).

Tuesday was the night for the boys to go out with Mike. When the came home Adam came running to find me. He said, "Guess what?" I replied, "what?" (really with that question it is left wide open! :) Then he said, "I lost my tooth!" He tooth was wiggly, but I didn't think it near ready to come out! I guess that might explain why, when he held the tooth out for me to see, his hands were a bit bloody.

Apparently, Adam had been wiggling his tooth in the car. When they went over some railroad tracks it was just enough to get it out!

I was glad to hear he was taking time to wiggle it when there was nothing else to do. Just like the Dr. wanted.

A Beautiful Kind of Noise

Austin started violin this month. He is still getting the hang of it!

He practices and makes noise (not always music), but he is starting to get more of the musical sounds.

I do love to hear him play--even the screeches and "not so great sounds." I see that as the early part of this violin journey

Managed By Who?

About once a month our school has a pizza night. It is a fund raiser where the school gets money from the pizza sales.

Tonight was one of those nights.

As we were eating dinner, something caught Mike's eye on the box. This is what he saw:

Yes, it says that our pizza experience was managed by Christ.

It was truly a divine meal!
