Every wet day we walk to school, worms on our route have a "hero" looking out for them. His name is Tyson. We rescue, on average, about 10 worms per trip. He loves animals, bugs, worms, anything living. He can't bare the thought that the worms may die if he doesn't take them off the sidewalk and put them back in the grass or dirt.
Aunt Marianne (Jason's sister) was up from Utah visiting this last week. It was good to see her. She looks really good. No more swelling from her Chemo treatments and her smile is as bright as ever. We invited her to come to dinner and Family Night with us on Monday. In anticpiation, Tyson was trying to figure out how long it was going to take her to get here (even though she was still in Washington) so he asked, "Is Utah in the Spirit World?" I replied, "No." He thought a few moments and said, "Oh, it's in the Army!" He was excited to see Aunt Marianne.
My youngest brother (I can no longer call him "little" brother as he is over 6' tall) is in the Army Reserves and has been gone the last couple of months at boot camp in South Carolina. He graduated and is now doing his special training at Ft. Bragg and is thrilled as he gets to see all the special ops guys. We miss him!
BriAnn loves to sing. Some of her favorite songs at present are "I Am a Child of God", "You Are My Sunshine", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Sunbeam", and more that aren't coming to mind right now. She can actually sing many of the words and can carry the tune pretty well. We love having her in our family, as well as all of our children!
You are right about kory. Not the little bother anymore. It was great to see him. I'll have to update my blog with some pictures. You kids are precious little angels. Miss you all.
ReplyDeleteAddie spends our time walking to the bus stop rescuing worms, too! Glad she's got someone covering the other street!
ReplyDeleteWe do most of the same substitutions. Brayden also has mild wheat allergy. He just can't handle too much. So everything I make for him (bread, pasta, tortillas, pancakes, etc.) I cut with oat, spelt and/or buckwheat flour.
ReplyDeleteWe also use EnerG for eggs. I tried a few other homemade egg substitutions, but none worked auite as well.
I can't think of much else off the top of my head. I'll get back to you if I think of anything else.
