This child has few secrets. She just never stops talking to everyone and everything, so all I have to do is listen! This is what she was saying in the car - it was a discussion with her doll Jill. I think Katie was being the mom.
"I want to play soccer, mom" (Jill says, I guess) (Katie replies, to herself!) "You can't play soccer - you are in your new school clothes. Do you know why we get new clothes for school? Because if we just wear our old clothes that don't fit anymore, we will throw-up at school!"
I guess I better go shopping! I don't want to throw-up at the grocery store or anything!

Recent Conversations
My kids crack me up a lot. Here are a couple conversations from this weekend that were funny...
Mom - So Katie, are you looking forward to 1st grade starting next week?
Katie - no.
Mom - Why not?
Katie - Well, at school, the teacher makes you work so hard. I just don't like working hard.
No kidding!
When Micah woke up from his nap the other day, Rick was messing with him. Rick was banging into his closed bedroom door acting like he couldn't get in...
Dad - Where are you?
Micah - I'm in my room.
Dad - How do I get in there?
Micah - In the door!
Dad - I can't make it work!
Micah - It works Dad.
Dad - I can't figure it out!
Micah - It works Dad. The door works.
Dad - I can't do it
Micah - It works Dad.
Dad - How do I do it?
Micah - GO ASK MOM!

Riley Update
Well, Riley soared into the 25th percentile for weight at his dr appointment today! He is up to 7lbs 14 oz which is satisfying the dr. Yeah! No more pediatrician visits for a few weeks. I am just a little tired of sitting in dr offices!
Other than that, not too much new. I just wanted to post a new picture. He is already changing so fast! He is still sweet though, and still sleeping quite well, so we aren't complaining!
I'm off to snuggle the babe while Rick plays with his new iPhone! (This has been the situation here for several days! It is a pretty fun toy, I must admit!)

Here is the long, scrawny baby!
Micah got a parrot from great-grandmother that repeats what you say! It's great - we may never have to talk to Micah again! He has a new friend!
My extremely cool boys!
Katie looks so grown-up these days!

Riley
Well, we are officially a family of 5. Riley Lane arrived on Monday around 2:00 pm. He weighed in at 8lbs 3 oz and has the smallest head of all of them, (which made for a quick and easy delivery!) so he seems really tiny compared to the monstrosity on top of Micah's neck! He is a sweet and snuggly baby so far and the kids are enamored with him. Katie has been so good about holding him for me and keeping the pacifier in his mouth, which is very helpful since he doesn't like to be put down. As my friend Heather said, finally her talent for sitting around is paying off! Micah likes his "brudder" alright but is not thrilled to have been displaced as the most needy kid! He is requiring some extra attention and constant supervision if the baby is around since his love is more along the lines of tough love.
Anyway, here are some pics, in case you haven't seen any of the bootleg ones floating around on e-mails!
That's all that is particularly exciting around here. I hope you are having a fun summer so far!

Genetics at work...
This is funny...
From the clothes, you can probably guess which one is NOT Micah (since the kid has never owned a coat that heavy.) But the question of the day is, who is it? And why does he look freakishly like Micah?

Something Finished
I think that one of my biggest frustrations as a parent is that I rarely truly finish anything. My attention gets rerouted so frequently that I leave most things undone. However, today I finished something, and not without a few sniffles. Katie's baby book is complete and I am having a deja vu of looking at it with her in 20 years, maybe as she starts one for her own child! Wow!
Anyway, now I need one of those school memory books that has a couple pages for each grade, where you can put their class picture, report cards and stuff like that. I looked at Booksamillion, Hallmark and Walmart and I can't find one. Anyone seen one like that recently?

Hilton Head, SC
Well, we continued our tour of the SC beaches this week in Hilton Head. It was beautiful - we'll definately be back sometime. It combines the more natural look of Seabrook Island with some of the less trashy fun of Myrtle Beach! It's off season right now, so it was very uncrowded, but the weather is already beautiful, so we enjoyed the pool and the ocean without getting chilly. We had a great time with our friends Danny and Heather and baby Brie. Here are some of the pics...
We rented bikes one day which was a huge hit with the kids and everyone else who was not pregnant!
Micah the giant squid... (We had to talk him out of being a mermaid like Katie was. Poor kid needs a brother!)
Unfortunately, this will probably be our only beach trip this year, but it was a great few days. We were glad to see that the kids hadn't lost their sense of adventure with the Atlantic and that Micah had gained a little healthy respect for waves and currents! No deep sea rescue measures needed this year! Now off to nurse the sun burns....

Wow - nearly a month has passed since I was here. We have not been particularly busy or anything. Just up to our usual random life stuff!
Lets see... Katie had her first field trip for school this week. I have to put a plug in for my husband here. I was feeling lazy and didn't want to go on the field trip so I told Katie I needed to be home with Micah (which was not a lie) but when she asked Rick to go, he agreed immediately and with an enthusiasm I could not have mustered. He has done more field-tripping with her than I have, despite his fully justified fear of large groups of children! I am so proud of him. He even rode the school bus for 30 minutes each way to the pond. Now that is a real man!
In other Katie news, she is definately growing up as evidenced by a recent purchase. One of her great grandmothers gave her $10 a while back so last week when she had a day off from school, we took a lovely mother-daughter trip to the mall. She took her "hand bag" to carry her $10 (which she almost lost about 50 times). I figured Claires was about the most exciting place I could think of to spend $10, so there we went.
She went straight for the shoes. Straight. Bee line. Blinders on to the shoes.
I know this is typical for most women, but I have to say, I'm not really a shoe person. I usually have 3 or 4 pairs of flip flops this time of year and those are picked for comfort. But anyway, in the spirit of letting her get WHATEVER she wanted, she picked these flip flops. I can't quite describe how hard it was not to wet my pants upon exiting this store. She had the clerk cut the tags off so she could wear them out. She paused at the exit of the store and, with as much dignity as could be mustered considering she couldn't quite walk in the shoes, she hiked her pants up to her armpits, threw her hand bag over her arm and strutted/shuffled into the teaming masses of the mall with more attitude than I thought possible in a 6 year old! Again I ask myself, who is this child?
Of course, as distracting as the shiny red shoes are, we do happen to notice the other kid every now and then. Micah has mastered the art of garnering everyone's, and I do mean everyone's, attention. Here are some random pictures of this clown.
And I'll leave you with a typical day-in-the-life kinda picture of Micah...

Yard Work Buffoon...
...is one of my new titles. It's not that I HATE working in the yard - I admit, it ranks below a number of other things on the scale of "things I like to do". But there are a number of things lower on that list. However, I just don't have a clue what is going on out there and why things happen the way they do so I live is a state of perplexia (new word) about what to anticipate.
Case in point, (or is that supposed to say "case and point"? Katrina, help?) reference this blog entry about the surplus of acorns falling in the yard last fall. Fast forward to last week and this conversation.
me - Hey Rick - there is some kind of funky weed taking over the front yard. Think we should do anything about that?
Rick - Oh yeah? Where?
me - Uhh.. in the front yard. Look at all those weird plants growing up all over with the wide leaves.
Rick - Those are oak trees.
me - How can you tell?
Rick - Because they have oak leaves and that's where the kids dumped a bucket of acorns.
I was totally shocked. I know that theoretically, acorns grow oak trees, but I had no idea that they EACH grew one tree. Now there are about 50 baby oak trees in the front yard. What am I supposed to do now?

Random Musings...
...So today I am driving through town after dropping Micah off at preschool and I pass a utility crew working on a light pole. (By the way, I mean "hydro pole", if you are from Canada. Rick cracks up when I call it that. I guess it is called that since most of our power in Ontario came from Niagara Falls, making it hydro power, that we called the power bill the hydro bill, etc.) I digress. So they are working on that, well actually one guy is working on that, while 2 guys dig a shallow hole on the edge of the school parking lot they are working in and proceed to clean the trash out of the cab of their truck and throw it in the hole.
I guess they plan to bury their trash.
In a school yard.
Like a cat buries it's poop.
Huh. Call me a democrat, but aren't there better options for trash disposal in America than this?
...So this is the cover of the April edition of our community magazine. Cute kid in yellow on the back row, eh? Micah was there too. If you could see the ceiling light fixtures in the studio in this picture, you'd see him too. Or this might have been taken while he was riding on the wheeled base of the camera. Hard to know. By the way, we know the adults in the picture - they are our chiropractors. We don't usually let our kids pose with random people off the street. Not usually.
...So Rick has taught Micah to play air guitar. It's really cute. He likes to do the bass guitar parts. Even at church during praise and worship. (FYI - our church doesn't have a band!) Micah has also learned how to make himself burp. He will be the coolest kid in the elementary school lunch room. Til then, the only use for that skill is to crack his sister up. Ahhh... life skills.
...There are a billion, well almost, caterpillars in our back yard, not counting the 2 dead ones that Micah caught and zoomed along the deck like Matchbox cars. Does that mean something? They kinda freak me out, especially when I saw Katie letting 9 of them crawl over her arm and neck.
...And we got another look at Baby Aardvark today, who is coming dangerously close to actually being named that since we can't come up with anything we like better. Anyway, he looks great. Just has short legs like his dad and brother. But oh well. He'll make up for that with his superior air guitar skills, I'm sure!
And now you know what's been on my mind today!

Easter Pics
Easter was fun. Here is the requisite family picture.
The easter bunny brought sunglasses in the easter baskets. Look at these stunners...

The Tennessee Mountains
We had a great few days in TN this week in the Blue Ridge mountains, just across the NC border. We went with Rick's childhood buddy, Jason, and his family and it was great to reconnect with them and let the kids get to know each other. It snowed while we were there so Rick and the kids went sledding for their first time. Here are some pics...
Micah kept asking to "get in the boat". Poor southern kid!
If you knew Jason and Rick as kids, you might swear this was a picture of them! Jason and Rick are 4 days apart in age and Micah and their youngest, Luka, are 9 days apart in age. They are both little stinkers, probably much the same as their dads were!
We went ahead and betrothed these two! They were immediate kindred spirits!

Baby Aardvark
Well, baby Aardvark has been spotted and the good news is that he has feet! (The arrow is pointing to his toes.)
Yes. He! Another stinky boy! Katie was okay with it, after I reminded her that she now won't have to share anything and can retain her "queen-of-the-house" crown. She also relishes the fact that she will not be solely responsible for the wrestling of Micah, here in a few months! I am happy that the sleeping logistics will work out (I wasn't sure how much a 9 year old was going to like sharing a room with a 2 year old) and Rick is glad that there will be yet another son to mow the lawn for him and support us in our old age! Ha!
So there you have the news!

My kids, defined!
Bo·he·mi·an /boʊˈhimiən/ Pronunciation[boh-hee-mee-uhn]
1. a native or inhabitant of Bohemia.
2. (usually lowercase) a person, as an artist or writer, who lives and acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices.
Well, obviously my kids are not natives of Bohemia, but I am much encouraged by definition #2 - I think I have finally figured them out!
Seriously, several times a day I think, "I need to put this on my blog", really for my own recollection purposes, as I intend to print this blog out one day. But also because I know my mom and dad get a chuckle out of/feel sympathy for me for some of these things. But I rarely do it. Where does time go? Well, this week it has gone out into the yard with about 40 bags of leaves and 5 truckloads of crepe myrtle limbs.
But here are a few things I don't want to forget about my bohemians, this week!
...the way Micah runs everywhere, especially when he has no pants on and his short, chubby little legs have to move at hummingbird speed to get him moving as fast as he wants to go. It's especially funny (in a sad, tragic way) when he runs at this pace down the hall to his bedroom - he hasn't mastered the 'coming in for a landing' slow-down and has to bounce off of his door frame to make the turn. Is it any wonder he is constantly surprising us with new bruises?
...when Katie led an entire restaurant in prayer! This actually happened last fall, but I had forgotten about it until I was telling someone about it recently. Her Daisy girl scout troop was meeting at Moe's for chips and queso and the TV was on showing coverage of a fire in a warehouse somewhere. She saw it and hushed the group and told them "There is a fire on the TV and we need to pray for those people RIGHT NOW. Sarah, (her faithful sidekick) you pray." And so sweetly, 15 little 6 year old heads bow for Sarah to pray. The chuckle came directly after when Katie lifted her head up and said, "Ok girls - let's play cheers." and they commenced toasting themselves! So I learned 3 things about my child that day - she has a soft and sensitive heart for people hurting, she is a delegator and she needs to stay away from adult beverages!
...how Micah is genetically predisposed to be musical, as evidenced by the fact that he sings in his sleep! The other night, all was silent and well and I hear softly through the baby monitor "sad-hananooyah, sad-hananooooooyah, sad-hananooyah unto da lor." Locals know that this is Micah's new favorite praise song (having replaced "Your Name" as the one he hollers out in church (as if dad was taking requests). Translated, it is "Shout Hallelujah" but most of our friends now sing, "Shout Hananooyah"! Micah is so loved!
...the speed at which Micah's taste in music changes. His is currently all about Five for Fighting, which is great with me. The past months have been full of Billy Currington (there is something so endearing about a 2 year old singing "Thank God for good directions...and turnip greens."), Phillips, Craig and Dean, the Rippingtons and Zoe Girl. He is quite a diverse little man!
...how protective Katie is for her little brother, and most any littler person around her. She recently scolded one of her friends for swinging too high when Micah was around since he likes to walk right in front of swings. One night a while back, she was sad that some friends at school wouldn't play with her that day. But she said, "At least I'll always have Micah. He will always be my best friend." And that is probably what got me into my current pregnant state! They love each other! Today, anyway!
I guess I could go on and on. I'll save it for another day. I just pray I remember these little monkeys in all their silliness. I'm trying to treasure it all up in my heart.....

Middle Name Meme
Lene tagged me for this Middle Name Meme:
Here are the Rules: Post the rules on your blog, and then give your answers. List one fact about yourself for each letter in your middle name. Each fact must begin with a letter from your middle name. If you do not have a middle name, use your maiden name(or create a middle name).Once you are tagged, update your blog with your middle name and your answers. At the end of your post, tag one person for each letter of your middle name.
This isn't very hard. My middle name is Jo. (My mom was born in Tennessee! Oh, and that's her best friend's name!)
J - justice-oriented. While I'm not always a fan of the rules, I try to follow them and it bugs me (in ways that it probably should not) when other people don't, or think the rules don't apply to them. Not a great character trait (can be perceived as "judgmental") but I'm working on this....
O - outgoing - I try to play the quiet, laid-back type, but I can't keep that up for long. I connect pretty quickly and love juggling lots of friends at different levels of closeness.
I've always wished I had a more exciting middle name, but if you knew "Auntie Jo", you'd know it was a privilege to share her name! Did I spell privilege correctly? It looks funny...
Okay. I tag my Heathers.... You know who you are!
