| S'mores and other musings from NatalieAt dinner we were discussing how to make s'mores, and here was Natalie's version:
"You take a graham cracker, put chocolate and marshmallows on it, and you S'MORE them!"
Today Derek asked Natalie how her day was going, and she said it was "uncomplicated and stylish, but I'm mad that my room is messy." | | |
| God's philosophy of schoolwork"Sometimes God does not want them to do schoolwork. He knows what's best and sometimes he wants them to take the rest of the day off." --what Natalie said when I was explaining to her that she was not to bother the older girls while they were doing their schoolwork.

| MilkToday Natalie asked me where milk comes from. "Cows," I replied. Then she asked how Wal-Mart and Dillons "caught" so much milk . .
Last night at dinner Natalie was telling the family where eggs come from. "They grow from chickens, and they take the babies out and give them to the chicks, and the put the yellow inside the egg and then put the skin on." | | |
| MilestoneYesterday during our visit with my grandparents in OKC, Isabella took her first step. Sadly, Derek was behind in Wichita babysitting our leaky basement during potential rains. We didn't get it on video or camera, but we'll try soon, and I'm in no hurry for her to repeat them 
In other news, we took her to the Dr for her 1 year check-up yesterday, and she has fallen off her growth chart, again. . .she weighs 17 lbs, 10 oz, but is only in the 5th % in weight, and 10% in height. So, once again, we'll have a weight check in one month, and we're pushing the solids until then. We're trying a "midnight snack", in addition to her 3 meals, adding in a little meal before she goes to bed. How is it that she was our biggest babe at birth and is the one who has struggled to gain weight? Anyway, walking will just burn more calories for her, so we'll have to feed her that much more! | | |
| Good ideaTonight at dinner Derek was talking about what we were going to do about our basement. Abbey said, matter of factly, "Oh, let the politicians figure it out." Now that's socialism I'm willing to get behind. | | |
