Tears

Coming home from the thrift store tonight Jaelle was whining about Josiah not sharing some candy he got. As we came into the house she went over to the couch and sat down next thing I hear her say, "uhhh, grrrr...I can't cry, I can't make any tears..." I then asked her "what? did you just say you can't cry? Why do you want to cry?" Then she told me, "Well, cause Josiah wouldn't share his gummies! I can't make the tears come out."

I then started laughing at what she said and she then moved to the dinning room floor where she sat down crossed her arms leaning against the wall and tried looking grumpy and cross till we tickled her and got her to smile and laugh!

ahh, i remember trying so hard to make myself cry when I was upset at something Chad did and I wanted to be angry at him! HaHa!

Another note about the zoo

Just another quick note about our adventures at the zoo. . .

during the zoomazium's creature feature for the toddlers out of about 35 kids or so Jaelle was the most out spoken answering all the questions and in her enthusiasm to answer she said pretty cute things. The lady leading the show was asking the kids what the names of different stuffed animals were that she was showing them, a duck, a lizard, a chicken, a snake, a frog and so on, so when she pulled out a ostrich Jaelle yelled "it's a sparrow!" and the flamingo was a penguin and then again a little later when asking the names of the birds again the ostrich was called a "gooseling" (half goose half duckling?) ha ha guess next time we visit the African Savannah at the zoo we will have to work on identifying the Ostriches!

Moved!

Yeah Praise the Lord we are all moved in! It does seem a little unreal still like we are only here temporarily not like this is our new home now. We love the new place aside from bathrooms and kitchen being very old and not updated (and the slug under the kitchen sink). The ceilings are about 2 or 3 feet higher, the kitchen/living room/dining room are very open nice big windows take up one whole wall and a third of another. And we are not in a neighborhood where there are cop cars blocking off the street in our apartment complex at least once a week. :-) We have been very blessed by the Lord in his provision for us!

So last night the kids were in the van while Judah and I were putting in the last of the boxes to take back to our new place and Jaelle saw our neighbor walk by and she didn't remember her name so she said to me, "Mom, is that Otis's, um Otis's... Otis's pretty pretty princess!?" and all I could do is laugh and say "Yes, that's Cynthia, Otis's wife, His pretty pretty princess!" (Cynthia and Otis our are neighbors who live below us, an older black couple, Otis is a black version of my Italian Nonno!)
Jaelle was saying all sorts of silly things the whole day it was quite entertaining and it was nice to have her in such a good mood, singing and saying sweet things. :-)

Anyway, that's all for now...
if any one wants our new address just send me an email and I will give it!
