"The Wick Men"

At Uncle Bo's House in 2012

Tell Stephen

Sarah (angry): Papa, Stephen took my toy and now he is not sharing with me and I don't like it because he should share!

Papa: Well, tell Stephen that.

Sarah (angry, to Stephen): That!

Papa (laughing): Well, I meant tell him how you feel.

Sarah (to Stephen): How you feel!

Papa (shaking head)

Can't Sleep

Papa: I can't sleep.

Mama: Well, then why don't you get up and do something productive, like go wash the dishes?

Papa: Thank you so much for helping baby, I am starting to get sleepy already!

Eating Babies

Sarah has concluded all by herself that mothers eat their babies, since, of course, they have them in their tummies.

Sometimes she has crackers in her hand and says that they are babies that she is eating.

Papa (testing her reaction): Sarah, when you were very little, Mama ate you up, and that is why you were in her tummy.

Sarah (laughs): Silly Papa!

(Maybe she is growing out of it now.)

Remembering Terry Bartos

This morning Terry Bartos passed away. She will be remembered as the daughter of a hard-fighting woman and someone who went through many trials and troubles in her life.

Happy 5 Years!

Mama and Papa celebrated 5 years of wedded bliss today by spending a bit of time away from the kids (thank you nieces for your help!)

Our dinner at Chipotle, small ice cream at Cold Stone, and night away at Motel 6 will hopefully be remembered as how we did it before we started making some decent money.

Sharing

Stephen loves Sarah and shares with her easily. The other morning, Stephen asked for some raisins, and when he had them in his hand immediately pointed towards the stairs and said, "Sarah? Sarah?" He is always thinking of his sister.
