Ballentine Family: March 2008

Our New Toy...

We've been debating on if we should get one of these or a seat for Aidan and one of those add a bike things for Cecelia. Today we saw it in the store and Cecelia wanted to ride in it instead of riding her bike. Then she was scared to get in it. Then she cried when Aidan rode off with Daddy and agreed to get in. Viola!! Two happy children on a bike ride! Now, if only it would get warm and stay warm. Damn you mother nature for teasing us!

God gives out cookies...

Cecelia has really turned a corner lately. I wish I had this on tape. We were having a very deep conversation about how my grandma is dead and lives with God. This is because she was very old and it was her time and God called her home. My daughter is accepting all of this very matter-of-factly and then goes on to explain to me that when you die and go to heaven, God is waiting for you and gives you cookies. No idea where she got the cookie idea but I love it! What a fantastic idea!

My pantsless wonder!
I can't believe he fell asleep like this but he did. Isn't he cute! I wish I could still be so comfortable in any position.

Here's Cecelia, desperate for her picture to be taken with her baby.

Aidan's newest hobby.
Mark and I have yet to catch him doing it but his sister rats him out every chance she gets. This is the vent on our bathroom floor. He's taken to putting tissues and toilet paper in it no matter how many times we tell him not to... Just more proof that God has a sense of humor...
