A few things were missed by the camera... Chic-fil-A (YES - worth mentioning. Yum.) Paint your own pottery place. Kids having a virus. Decent dinner for Jennifer, but I forgot the bread again. However, this time I didn't burn it. I just forgot to cook it. "Antique" shop where I found two board games that I played at least once a week as a kid. I didn't think your ten year HS reunion signaled that you were old.
Something that was not missed by the camera... Ben's first taste of food with flavor. He's been on rice cereal for three weeks, but today we tried green beans. I've been secretly excited about this for at least four days.
Some recent favorites...
- Mrs. Tracy (beloved preschool teacher) asked Gabby if her mommy spells her name L-A-U-R-E-N. "Noooo... she spells it M-O-M-M-Y."
- Nighttime prayers. Gabby keeps remembering people to pray for after they've "Amen"ed. Jason explains that she can pray even when he's not around. They goodnight each other and through the closed door he hears, "Thank you, God, for Mark and Sandy."
- Eating ice cream outside near a train depot. After a train passes by, "Momma, that was one big honkin' train, now." Complete with grown-man Southern stilted rhythm.
- On Saturday morning, Gabby's breakfast smelled gorgeous. Then Monday afternoon, Jason smelled beautiful.
- Did you know that Gabby's fish died? And that they're still died?
I really enjoyed this post. :-)
ReplyDelete- Gabby is quite the poser.
- At first I thought you were a secret bike rider, then I read the caption.
- You're a good one for simultaneous diaper changing and photography. That could have been dangerous.
- Baby Ben sure does like green beans.
What a great start on veggies! How fun! Logging on to see what happens with Gabby and Ben never fails to bring a smile, but today's made for guffaws and grins.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the joys!

If Ben loves those beans that much -- I can't imagine how he's gonna react to butter pecan ice cream. Gabby's recreation of Ben's hooo-hooo sounds (wanting more food) cracks me up!! And I so wish I could have heard her "big honkin' train" description!
ReplyDeleteExcellent stories,pictures,videos and commentary.
Ben liked those green beans because they were served on a big orange spoon! Love GMB
