Faithful readers, we are still here! I have no pictures to show you, but we are knee-deep in basement finishing and baby prep. All will be revealed when it is finished!
The kids have had some funny things to say lately, so please enjoy:
Sammy: Let's watch Wild Live by Century Link! ("Wild Live" is the Wild pregame show, which is sponsored by Century Link. We watch it all the time.)
Anne (confused about something): Hmm...I'm puzzled.
Anne (about our baby): It's okay if it's a brother.
Sammy likes to look at our ultrasound picture and say, "That's our born baby!"
Anne, reading a book about states: That says "Texas". That's where my grandma and grandpa are! (MY grandparents spend the winter in Texas--I couldn't believe she remembered that)
Words Sammy can read: home, Minnesota, wild, Wildcats, red, green, stop. He blew us away when we were out shopping--he looked across a parking lot and said, "Mom, that says 'Goodwill'" Why yes, yes it does, freaky 2-year-old!
Anne can read all kinds of stuff these days. Some of the more impressive are "Plays of the Week" while watching NHL Network and "Big Bang Theory" from the guide on our TV. She's also good at saying how you can change a word to make it something else. She saw "tools" and guessed it said "toys", then told me "If you make the 'L' a 'Y' it would say 'toys'" Close enough for someone who is only 4!
While I enjoy their reading skills, it does get a bit tiring to hear, "How do you spell _____" and "What's that say?" 1500 times a day.
Sammy has disliked the church nursery for a long time, so he sits in church with us. He likes to thumb through the Bible and find "the Samuels" and "the Romans" He gets a kick out of seeing both of his names in there.
Both kids have been keeping up with the Wild roster. They can tell you who got traded, who is new, and who is still hurt. Anne was almost in tears when her beloved Matt Cullen was injured! (Her reason for liking him? "He's number 7, and someday I want to be 7.")
