it's so cold in this town. i would like to nap and read and write and watch movies while i crochet all day with my big dog taking up all the space on my bed and my tiny space heater blowing at me from across the room.

things are looking up for us, son









for some reason



i don't know why it came to mind. but i was reminded of this time on a trip when i was in joshua and i wanted darin and shannon to be able to hang out in the evening with everyone, so i offered to babysit their two boys almost every night. they were so little then! anyway someone always came along, like barb or katie and i think it was a time barb was there, i can't remember, but i had "pretty baby" by vanessa carlton stuck in my head and i kept singing like the one line i knew from that song...
anyways...
hank, with his lil bopo [binky] in his mouth, carrying a blankie, popped his head out of the bedroom and said, "baby's not goin anywhere, i'm right here"
too cute
and i think jack was sitting on the table while we played cards or something. i don't really remember.
well. there it is. and that's why i grabbed my cam and recorded myself singing that part. cuz it's a good memory.
