Busy Weekend

Saturday, I took Walker and Ellie to Micah's birthday party at the church. It was pretty entertaining watching the kids run wild in the fellowship hall and play games and react to the magic show. Some of them didn't know what was going on sometimes (Ellie), but even she knew to clap when the magician did a trick. Micah sure has some loving, patient, and completely exhausted parents. Speaking of Ellie at the birthday party, she had a dirty diaper right in the middle of it. When I was changing her in the tiny little super secret bathroom at church (the one with no ventilation to speak of), I said, "Man, Ellie, this is something else," to which she replied, "It's yogurt stick aaaaaand apple juice!"

We had Anderson baptized yesterday. He did a good job - didn't cry or anything like that. He was by far the fattest little baby up there but he was cute.

Last night Carla went to Youth and I stayed home with the kids. When I told them it was time to put on their pajamas, Ellie came over and gave me this huge hug and said, "Thanks, Daddy. Thanks for letting me get Jammies. You're my best friend. And Addie's my best friend, too." Tied for first. That'll do.

A long time ago, whenever Walker tried to tell us something and didn't make sense or was just making a bunch of crazy sounds and we'd ask him what he was talking about, he'd always say, "Nothing. I'm just talkin' 'bout the gibberish."

Yep, Anderson did so well yesterday. I can't get over how big he is and how cute his chubby little cheeks are!

It was a crazy party- eh? LOL Micah loved every minute of it though.
So glad Addie and Ellie have each other- love how they both say they are each other's best friend.

seems like i know a lot of politicians who are talkin' about the gibberish.

Ellie's right, Daddy. It was yogurt stick and apple juice from Friday (when your favorite Aunt was babysitting). Did you happen to catch the green beans, too?
Gotta love those Elli-hugs!

Maybe Walker thought there was an imaginary world of munshkins called the "Gibbers," and he liked to gossip about them.
