Sea of Green Life

First we had you all going with the AnnaBelle smelly face. Let me tell you, that is nothing compared to the crazy face. She did all by herself, really. Gideon just named it and now she does it on comand . She also freaks out for food. Maybe she is finally growing. She eats like crazy especially when it is someone else's food. Sara did get a partial grant for a summer class. The Media, Persuasion and Society. It sounds super cool. I can't wait, I can log in on Monday. Sara also forgot to put Dipper's cone on, so he licked out all his staples in his leg from a wound that wouldn't heal. Looks like another $80 at the vet. Gid and Genevieve slept in the playground last night with the tent. We all went to the ATV kick off party and Gevie went on an hour four wheeler ride without falling asleep! First ever not falling asleep! Till next time.

Before---- After----- As I posted on Facebook, we are not done with the playground. It will take another weekend to complete but hopefullly we can put up railings on the big tower and finish the big slide so they can have full acess. Swings and monkey bars would be the other parts waiting.

Fearless, Dipper, and Gizmo Some things have been getting wierd for Sara so I finally went to get an allergy test. They didn't test anything I knew I couldn't have, like fruit and we didn't find out anything I mostly didn't know. I'm allergic to cats, dogs, mold, dust, grass, and green beans. Green Beans was a little random and the dog thing just popped up this winter. What are we going to do? Well, we'll start by actually cleaning the house not just putting the junk away. Did you know some people dust once a week? We dust like once a year. And we'll vaccuum more like once a week not once before we have company. I'm sure some of you are going "OH MY." But it's the hard truth, and your welcome to volunteer--anytime. We also continued with the no pets downstairs rule, so being at work is very pleasant. We are working on a no pets in the bedroom, and the cat is going to have to find a new place to sleep--not my head. The allergies I had just

What's this, you ask? Yes AnnaBelle does say quite a few words, or really sounds that mean words. We are excited to finally be comunicating with her though, even through grunts and sign language. PPPPPP (like blowing raspberries on a belly) = boots (or shoes now that we can wear them) Ball--easy enough ARRRRGGGGGG (growling) = Did you guess? Dog BB BB = Bye Bye AAAAAAAAHH MMMAA (toddler screaming) while opening and shutting her hand in the air = Gimme more NOW. So that is our newest news on AnnaBelle. When I hear her grunt and groan I think of the Holy Spirit, who is in Heaven pleading to the Father on our behalf in unintelligle sounds. I'll look up the verse. Maybe toddlers have a direct connection? More updates, but time for work. Sara My friend Kelley looked up the verse, Romans 8:26, 34 "but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered." Verse 34; "It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the r
