Spy

Here's a conversation between Kim & I


I call Kim: "AD is on the move, headed to PayLess shoes"

After a few minutes Kim calls me: "She's not in Location"

I text AD asking for location and get a message back, "Dad, I found a T-shirt that says, "If you knew my mother you would understand"

I text AD again and ask where she's at.

After a few minutes I get the reply from AD, "JC Penny's"

I call Kim and tell her JC Penny's

I get a call back from Kim, "Little bird has been spotted."



A successful spy operation accomplished. We really need GPS systems.

1880 Adventure

I carry my camera like a a western gun fighter carried his gun.  I out camera many and get the right picture - of course that's after several pictures are shot.  There's a story behind this picture.  The boys are smiling because it's an unexpected adventure.  We broke down in our van and had to stop at the 1880's diner.  (It's a old train made into a diner.)  We did managed to send all the kids on another bus headed to camp and all was well.

Kalli

Kalli is very ornery. She loves to hide the remote, take my chair or anything she can do to keep me off guard. -(But I love the attention.) Every night she has to have books read to her. Right now she’s studying the word, “the” and we have to stop and look for that word in all her stories

Now that you’re 2 plus three
What is it you want to be?

Is it like Kristina, She’s in a family of 3
Brian, Kristina and Cody?

Or is it like Alicia, last year of 1 past 3
Graduating with a business degree?

Or is it like Danielle, in the summer she went by the sea
She went to see family of Ricky?

Or is it like Alisha, running, getting up an hour past 4
running and then wanting to run some more?

Or like Austin, One Fish, Two Fish, Blue Fish, four
Liking the Creek and wanting more.

Or is it like Noah, in Grade 3, you see
Having fun with Max on the trampoline?

Or is it like Brooke, home for the holiday
In life, making her own way?

Or is it like Timmy, foster child # 43
pody training, so in his pants he don’t pee?

Or Patience, liking Green Eggs and Ham
or anything else she can see?

So Kalli, now that you’re 2 plus three
what is it you want to be?

“I want to be me, that’s who I want to be, there’s no one mer than me”
“You be you, for there is no one more youer than you.”
Merry Christmas
