Someone emailed me today to tell me that my feeds were not working. They were working in Google Reader so I had not noticed that something was wrong with the Feedburner feeds.  I fixed the feeds.  Here is a list of my 35 posts this year in case you want to see what you've missed.

All the best,

Carving pumpkins the night before

and Amy, Ryan as Scooby-do, Mr. Clean and Jacob as a Lion. 

We have been reenacting Joshua 6. 
"Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho . . .
and the walls came tumbling down." 

Ryan afterward explaining more about the story,
"At the gate, there were these security people and there were people going out of the gate on the sidewalk . . . some animals wanted to take a break."  I was just enjoying his phrases that rarely are included in most Bible stories. 

He was also saying earlier this week, "Just now . . ." this happened and "in the nick of time."  He is also saying "Oh my" which he gets from his father.  The poor kid is also trying to learn his past tenses these days, "I bringed this . . . I singed that."  It is not easy learning English. 

Tonight at dinner, I was talking theology and church with Amy and Ryan yelled, "WHEN I WOKE UP FROM MY NAP, I PLAYED WITH SOMETHING!" meaning, "Can I get into this conversation, please?!"

Ryan is making up random letters and saying them in order to get back at his parents who spell things so he doesn't know what we are talking about. 

Jacob is doing high fives.  (Don't get him started; he won't stop).  

Jacob also clocks his older brother with rather large toys.  Ryan is aware of it and keeps his distance when Jacob is waving anything. 

Jacob also plays peek-a-boo where he cranes his head as far as he can away from you while we say, "Where's Jacob?" 

He is also shaking his head furiously for "No." 

He is also pointing at the moon, at trees, at everything. 

He knows how to communicate–trying to put on his shoes to show he wants to go outside, putting his leg up on the bathtub to show us he wants to get in. 

He is also doing good hugs and cuddles now where he buries his head in your chest and squeezes you. 

He also does some sort of worm dance.
