Going to be that kind of day (and some family news)
First, Theresa has some new posts up if you haven’t seen them, including pictures of the cute children (they take after her).
Today, at breakfast, everyone was in a mood. By “in a mood” I mean that all of the children found humor in everything and I was tired. So that’s the kind of day it’s going to be. You know, the kind where you write “rent Bill Cosby, Himself” on the to-do list.
In family news, we have a change in the pecking order of sorts. For those of you who don’t know my three oldest children are currently 11, 10 and 9. Samuel is 15 months behind Moriah and Toby is 13 months younger than Samuel. That’s 24 1/2 months between the three.
For a long time Samuel and Toby have worn the same clothes. On the pantry door where we make the annual growth marks, we noticed this past December that Toby was significantly taller than Samuel was 12 months earlier. It was then that we realized that Toby would be taller than Samuel one day.
And that day has come–only a few months later. Toby was sized up to Moriah’s year end line yesterday by his mama and was an inch past it. I later checked Samuel and he was not quite past, so I put them back to back, and sure enough, Toby is now taller than his “big brother.”
I’m sure this will be a cause of some consternation and humor for a while.
More news later–and I plan to get back to writing at some point, but thought some of you might be interested in the news from Orange St.
