Cousins Cousins Everywhere

On the sofa I'll pull your hair
Elephants, hippos, this one's mine
I wish I could play with you all the time.

Katie, Asher, Issac, Ethan
Make sure Will doesn't eat that wheat thin
Lovely Abby likes to dance
Smells like somebody pooped their pants

Abby, Caleb, Charis, Will
So many sippy cups to fill
Laughing, crying, giggles, joy
Mommy, don't make me share my toy!

Ethan's eating what was under the couch
Asher got his head bonked, ouch
Issac's hoarding cars today
Caleb will fix it, "Isaac obey!"

Charis smiles as Katie shrieks
These playdates have been such fun each week

Movie worth seeing

We just watched the movie "To End All War". It was the best one I'd seen in a while. It's got an amazing message. It's based on the true story of Ernest Gordon, a survivor of a Japanese prison camp during WW2. I'm going to read the book.

Playdate Moments

Here are some other special times with the Armstrong cousins

About those Armstrongs

Sunday was Katie's dedication and Will's birthday. It was at Sam and Angie's church, Terra Nova Church, which meets in Revolution Hall in Troy. It was a very cool service, not at all the traditional conservative type most think of when you say "church". We were so happy be able to celebrate Will's birthday. The Armstrongs are moving to North Carolina next Tues. We will miss them terribly. What can you say, when family moves, I don't think you can express the emotions right away. We love you guys and are glad we've been able to share the first two years of the parenthood adventure side by side with you. Angie and I have been having playdates with the cousins on Thursdays mornings. We just sit and laugh at the boys enjoying each other. I know that whenever they get to visit they'll pick right back up like this.
