Co-Blogging
So Rebekah and I are thinking of combining blogs (a huge commitment, I know;-). But I can't think of any great names, so suggestions anyone?

Pictures shortly but...
Before I forget, I have a couple of David stories to tell.
While camping at Priest Lake our city boy couldn't find anything better to do than play with the fire and the water jug, so I shooed them off into the woods next to our campsite to explore, soon David is calling back "Daddy, come look!" since I was cooking breakfast I asked what he found "Giraffe poop!".
Then today in the pool at Grampa Eyre's house he asked us to take his floaty ring off (as he just recently found he could touch the bottom) and after we did he said "I'm Proud!!".
Last but not least tonight when praying for his Godparents he said "And thank you for my fun Godparents!".
In other news Timothy has become quite good at holding his breath and swimming underwater, and doing flips on the trampoline.

What Is A Grandmother
A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own.
She likes other people's little girls and boys. A grandfather is a man grandmother. He goes for walks with the boys, and they talk about fishing and stuff like that.
Grandmothers don't have to do anything, except to be there. They're old, so they shouldn't play hard or run. It is enough if they drive us to the market where the pretend horse is and to have lots of dimes ready. Or if they take us for walks, they should slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars, and they should never say, "Hurry up."
Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off.
Grandmothers don't have to be smart, only answer questions like, "Why isn't God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?"
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television …
Because they are the only grown-ups who have time.
