A Wednesday Wrap-Up
Wrapping up the past week's thoughts and photos.
Our
new grocery store has the coolest machine.
You dump your change into it, it then calculates your total and prints out a
voucher that you use to get your money from the cashier. The boys love it.
The spare change that I drop into my little jar every day when I get home bought
Amy and I a DVD player, Jackson a new toy and Ben a new Sesame Street movie.
On
Saturday, Jackson and I went to see my nephew play basketball. Jackson enjoyed rooting for
the Lakers,
especially since they had the lead the entire game and his cousin scored 4 of
his team's 13 winning points. It did come down to the
wire though and had a very exciting finish.
Amy
and Ben were visited on Tuesday by
friends from Winston-Salem. Ben went to
sleep the night before talking about all the things he and his
best friend were going to do the
next day. What they did end up doing was playing kazoos, making a
pizza, and playing with Jackson's old Thomas The Tank Engine track. For
some reason the Thomas bug never really bit our boys, but all their best
buddies love him. Our friend's little girl was absolutely the most
precious and bouncy little baby I've seen in a long time.
Friends
from Richmond visited us in Colonial Heights on Monday before we left town.
Jackson always plays great with his buddy who is closer in age to him than
anyone else he knows.
