Word Building

Picture us all in the back yard hanging out as a family. Aidan starts flipping this paddle (like a larger ping-pong paddle) sporadically.

Aidan: "Mom! Dad! I have a new invention!"

Martha/Jay" "What is it?" we ask, wondering what it could be since Aidan has not made his typical modifications to the paddle.

Aidan: "It's an Ant-a-pult." Aidan then quick flips it propeling an unseen ant into the air.

Happy Birthday Aidan!

It is Aidan's Birthday today - I will post pictures on Saturday.

Aidan is getting into Comics

Aidan is getting into comics. As part of the reading club he won a Spiderman No2 comic. We have read it more than once! It is rated for everyone, and is contructed on a very moral and roughly Christian worldview. It is not that he does not harm people, and does not use guns to get the bad guys. Anyway, I hope his reading skills pick up enough for him to read them himself, BUT in the meantime I am enjoying them too :).

Hope is talking

Hope says to me this morning "Daddy, more Peanut butter" and hand me here bagel. Although she talks all the time, I am only begging to understand her. She is not yet 2, so I guess that is fine.
