Puppet

Last night Jason told me he wanted to make a puppet. As with many things, I don't have any idea how he learned that you can make puppets--maybe PBS. Anyway, we collected supplies this morning, and here is the result.

Chillin' (and snackin') out max in their boxes.


Uncle Ken and Aunt Chrisy are moving to another state :( We are happy for them, but sad that we won't have as many play dates with these cousins.

They are mellow by this point in the evening--but it was definitely a wild afternoon. Jason and his older cousin had a ball screaming and chasing each other all through out the house. And Uncle Jeff did his part in riling them up too :) My parents found such joy in having nearly all their family together that even they were able to enjoy the commotion.

Last night I started feeling a sore throat coming on--and I woke with it this morning. Jason climbed in bed with me a little before 7 am and I told him I wasn't feeling well. I asked him if he would take care of me today. He of course said yes, and then immediately leaned over to kiss me on the cheek and started patting and stroking my arm for a few minutes. It made my heart melt.

While I'm at it, another thing that makes my heart melt is holding Jason and Addie's little hands as we walk along. I love it when they reach up for my hand--even if we are just walking down the hall in our home.
