O My Goodness

We have been busy.  Miss us?  Go here.

I miss chronicling our family adventures, the ups and downs.

I hope to get back to it soon.

In the meantime, here is a gem of picture or two.

My Merritt Today

It is laundry day.  The house smells like the unmistakable soft smell of laundry detergent.  Earlier, this morning, I asked Merritt to read a book for a few minutes until it was time to leave for speech class.

He grabbed his orange copy of the New Testament and started reading out loud.

"God wants us to be happy.  God loves us.  Captain America loves us. Thor loves us.  There was a scout and he was running away.  And Green Goblin.  And Spiderman got him.  They are alive.  Mom?"  he paused in his reading.

"Yes."

"The Green Goblin needs to learn about Jesus."

"Why?"

"So he can learn to be nice."

On the way home from speech class, he requested that Chunky and Speedy be moved to the "show room" because Speedy loves Dora and Chunky loves the PowerRanger with the Star. 

Merritt working on being a better listener.  He has a marble jar going, and when he fills it, he'll be able to go on a special Dad Outing.  He is working really hard to earn those marbles.
