Today at the Smith's...
Mialee and I sing a song that goes like this, whether this is the correct way or not.... 'Sugar pie honey bun, you know that I love you. Can't help myself, I love you and nobody else'. This afternoon, about 20 minutes after Mialee went down for her nap and the house was quiet, I started singing that song to Nathan. I had just finished ...honey bun, when I heard from Mialee's room, 'you know that I love you. Keep singing Mama.' Very cute.
Our day started with more cuteness. I was playing the piano while Mialee danced to the music. She asked me if Jesus would come watch her dance. I assured her He probably was watching her. That led to her asking me if Jesus had eyes. I told her He did and she went on her merry way dancing. Then it was her turn to play the piano. I stood with Nathan and watched as she told me she was playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and asked me if I wanted to dance while she played. :)
Nathan enjoyed his green beans and sweet potatoes for lunch. A picture of just how much he enjoyed them will be posted later. He has only peed on himself twice in the last 14 hours. All of a sudden it starts raining on his face and makes him laugh. Pretty gross if you ask me.
Nathan got whacked in the head today. One minute he was happy and the next crying. Mialee happened to be near him so I thought I would ask her if she knew why he was crying. She said, "I hit him in the head with his toy." Then she held up the toy and pointed to the red mark by his eye. After we talked about it, she leaned over to him, kissed him and said, " I am sorry Nafan. Now you have a booboo."
That's all folks....

We're back!
The kids and I got back late last night. What a trip. It didn't turn out anything like we had planned. Friday night my mom ended up in the hospital and missed the whole anniversary celebration party. We didn't get the family picture or get to see New York or anything.
The good news, they thought she had a heart attack but they ruled it out after exhaustive testing. They determined she has a (huge) hiatal hernia. She knew she had it, but I guess its the largest they have ever seen. She will need to be followed on it as it needs to be surgically repaired. They believe a piece of food lodged in the hernia causing "heart attack" like symptoms.
Its good to be home in my own bed. I missed the family that didn't come.
Lewis is still reeling from our departure, he said it sank in that James is leaving. I guess since James was with me, I just haven't gotten to that realization yet. After all, I have spent his whole life raising him to do just this. How bad can it be?
Hope you all are fine. Loved the pics of Nathan and his hearing aids.
Jan, I hope you and Carleton are continuing to improve. Anything new with the knee?
Anyone getting together for Easter? James would like to come see the Palmdale people one more time if he can and anyone who just happens to be there that day (Easter). Let us know.

Go check it out!!!!!!!
Go check it out!!!!!!!
Nathan....
....has his hearing aids! He got them on Monday and is a new little guy! It is so fun to see the change in him. He is lots louder (if that is possible), all of his toys thrill him 'cause, hey, they do make noise, he listens while I play the piano and sing, he is VERY quiet while Derrick whistles him songs, the TV has new meaning, and he takes turns talking with us instead of never giving us a chance to say anything. :) He doesn't seem to mind them, though the doctor said it is usually not until 6 months that he would have the coordination to pull on his ears. Hopefully by then we will be used to them and won't have a problem there. We were worried how Mialee would be with them, but for the most part she leaves them alone. She calls them his bandaids for his ears. She gets really close to him and then talks really loud.
He continues to love playing with toys and rolling over. He is a proud eater of rice cereal and squash. We call him our sumo wrestler; that kid can down the food!
Mialee has decided it is okay for poo to go into the toilet, so yeah, we are just about done with diapers for her! I will not get up at night and take her potty, so she still is in them then. She is full of new sayings and thinks she knows everything. When it is time for a bath or dinner or to clean up she says: "No Mama, it is not time to....." She got a chalk board easle from her Nana that she is loving. We keep it up in our living room and she frequently tells Nathan to watch her as she draws smily faces and writes letters of the Mialee alphabet. She loves to draw and paint and dance.
That's all. Derrick will post a picture soon.

Its almost Easter time!
While at my last race, I heard a beautiful new song about the Saviour and His walk to calvary. The same gentleman who has the sheet music sent me today a link to a website that plays the song. Go listen to it and tell me if you like it as much as I do.
