Pumpkins

While Wiley is screaming in his bed, not wanting to nap, I will post these pictures to remind myself that at times he can be sweet. and creative, too. enjoy.


While he painted his pumpkin, I decided to paint our other one in a college football theme...with all the teams our family cheers for.

Wil's Birthday

Here are a few pictures from Wil's birthday. We had a lot of fun not only as a family, but with Taylor, Liz, Andrew, and of course Wake friends. Taylor and Liz got to experience a Wake football game (they say that they are taking Wake's first down cheer back to Bryant-Denny) and Andrew surprised us coming down on Friday. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.



Wiley tries on his Daddy's birthday gift:






Things that Wiley is Thankful for...

When Wiley and I were saying our prayers tonight, he had some interesting things to share with Jesus...Some nights I will say something and he repeats it. We usually start with Dear Jesus, Thank you for today. I am thankful for...

Well, tonight here is a run down of what he was thankful for, in as close to the actual order as I can remember.

Tot Lot
Poop
Dad
...and he continues to list his grandparents, aunts, uncles.

Yes. He was thankful for poop. After being thankful for the tot lot.

Let me give my explanation for Wiley's train of thought...Today, he and Wil went to the Tot Lot (playground). Shortly after arriving, Wiley pooped. He is somewhat starting to potty train, so is very aware of tee-tee and poo-poo. Wil and Wiley have to come home to change the diaper before picking me up at school. It was all he could talk about in the car when I got him. So, poop is obviously on his mind, and of course something to be thankful for.

Observation (maybe you caught this):
Things Wiley is thankful for include poop and tot lot. Things Wiley does not say he is thankful for include Mom. Hah!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9
