SURPRISE

Saturday night a local friend, Gwen, called to let us know that her dh was arriving the next a.m. from Kuwait. Yippee! We were excited. Yes, we made another trip to the airport. Zander was NOT a happy camper. After Sunday School the little ones and I ducked out to run to the airport. Mike was preaching.

We grabbed lunch and then headed for the Gospel Service.

While some of us were in the service Jamin and Josiah supervised the removal of our outside decorations. The inside ones are STILL up.

We ran home and Mike returned the trailer we had rented for guests.

We ran to Schlotskys for dinner with Debbie and boys. Mom, great news that Steve, Debbie's dh, will be returning home in mid- Jan.

Zander was upset that Stacia wouldn't "share" her 1/2 of the cookie (yeah - they only get 1/2 a cookie). He left our table and went to pout. She joined him to offer sympathy.

She even gave him a hug.

Then, thinking that NOLAN was the cause of Zander's unhappiness, she went to him and said, "You BULLY, Nolan". Um...OK now.

Oh, the challenges of parenting...sweet of Stacia with Alexander...

Today my 5 y/o dd had her first kiss...it landed her in the pricipals office w/the boy who chased her on the playground, tackled her and planted one on her lips...Not to be trifled with when he rolled off her and dashed, she ran after him to tackle him...not sure what she was planning...thankfully an adult intervened before any more shenanigans...oh, the challenges of parenting...
