Over heard at my house.

Following along with The Noll Family I've been wanting to do this for a while especially as Liam is speaking more and more. And since some of our other friends'The Glenns' have also started an "Over heard at my house", I thought I could too:) So here it goes, I have a few I've been wanting to share.

Liam LOVES the movie Cars, and he has watched it A LOT, especially as we raised support and as we've been settling into our life here in Japan. I became very aware of this fact the other day when he was getting frustrated with Matthew and yelled... "I'm SO not taking you to dinner!"

::::::::::::

Liam's been sick off and on since we arrived in Japan, he most recently had about a week of diarrhea.... We were eating lunch a few days after he had recovered and he had a rather large burp. He looked at me with big eyes and a shocked expression and said "Mommy! I just did Diarrhea in mouth!!" MMMMMmmmmmm.....

::::::::::::

We were ridding in the car and talking as we do...
Liam exclaims to me "Mommy, Jesus took my sins away!!"
Me: "Yes that's right buddy, Jesus died on the cross to take all our sins away!!"
Liam: "Mommy, Jesus NOT take my cars away. Okay?!!"

Aunt Essy

We just had the amazing privilege of having my sister Esther stay with us for about a month. Liam loved ever minute of it, well except for maybe a few times that esty had to discipline him. They became best of friends and I began to wonder how we would ever make it without her... The first week after she left was rough, but we're back into a good groove and now we can talk about her and miss her without having tantrums. Liam and I both!
I wanted to share some fun quotes from liam as we've been talking about Aunt essy. "Daddy bad guy, Hudson bad guy, Gi bad guy ..... Essy's good!"
Here's another one "Essy not a boy, essy's a giiirrrrrl ....... Essy's MY girl."
We sure do miss her.

Our Boys :: Our Generation

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands. - Deuteronomy 7:9


Trying to start this week with the right perspective.

A lazy saturday.

Sometimes... no, it is always nice to have a lazy saturday morning. We were just hanging out in our living/dinning/one warm room in the house room. The boys love it when Daddy gets down on their level, even when He's 'sleeping'. It is So wonderful just to BE together, I am thankful... very very thankful. Especially for days like these.

'Fighting the bad guys!'

These pictures are a little old and a little grainy, but I thought I'd share them anyway... Liam is into 'fighting the bad guys' in a BIG way! Everything and everybody are 'the bad guys', he will sometimes look up at me and in a very serious voice, say 'mommy, we are bad guys'. I'm not sure where this has come from exactly... except that other moms of boys say that theirs boys are the exact same way. He loves to 'fight' and wrestle with his daddy and it's a great way to get some energy out!!
