Mikaela's 1st Driving Lesson

This month has held many "firsts" for Mikaela.

She ice-skated, chased ducks (and almost fell into the Canal), colored cookies, and is experiencing her first time away from Daddy (for 2 weeks) while he's on the West Coast at a conference.

Even though she misses her "Aarwon" and looks sad whenever she hears his voice on the phone, she is thrilled to be visiting with her Gran'mama and Great-Grands at their island home. The frequent bike-rides, walks on the beach, hugs & kisses, new toys, and ice-cream treats makes her one Very Happy (and spoiled) Toddler.

This afternoon brought her another of those "firsts". She received a Lil Lightning McQueen from her Gran'mama for her 2nd birthday. After she bumped into a couple of vases on the veranda, we decided it was time to move her outside to the driveway.

It was hilarious! She would scrape against the walls, or end up in the flower beds. We need to work on her steering, for sure.

The kid's crazy about nuggets

She ate 7 pieces, and half a bag of fries.

Where does it all go?! It always tickles me to see her stomach visibly bulge and harden after she eats - too much. Her big appetite . . . she inherited from her dad.

I'm fairly sure that I couldn't consume as much when I was her age.

Oh, and please excuse the gross migration of nuggets across the carpet, open-mouthed chewing, etc. That's, ya know . . . what toddlers do. O_^

Fireproof

So many friends recommended seeing this movie, that two days ago, Aaron and I obliged. When I learned that its creators were the producers of Facing the Giants, I knew this was going to be good.

Every couple should see this. If ever a movie demonstrated the need for love and respect in marriage, this one did. If ever a movie demonstrated how husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church, this one did.

It is unashamedly Christian. Go see it!
