The "key" to a bath!

So, I am running Noah's bath water tonight and he says, "Do you know what the key is?" I say, "What key?" He says, "The key to a bath!" I say, "What is the key to a bath?" Noah: "The colder the water, the shorter the bath. The hotter the water, the longer the bath!" Ha, ha! How true! Sometimes he has such a way with words!

We are so proud of Noah! He passed his karate test for the orange striped belt last Monday! He has really been practicing hard.

Katy enjoyed her 9th birthday on Saturday! It's hard to believe she's 9! She is such a blessing to our family! She is so thoughtful, helpful, caring, and tender-hearted! Nana, Mimi & Papa, and 4 girlfriends were all able to come help her celebrate with cake and ice cream, games, and gifts! The Annie Oakley figurine we ordered to put on the cake wouldn't stand up, so I was forced to ram her legs down into the cake. Oh, well, she did have boots on!

VJ is finally over his cold and feeling frisky! Raf was off work today and able to see a little of how my day's are. VJ was into everything: climbing up on chairs and getting whatever is on the end table, standing in the kids rocker and rocking so hard that it bangs against the wall, opening the dishwasher and pulling dirty utensils out, walking around the kitchen table with one hand feeling for anything he can reach, trying to nibble on the computer cord, and playing with the screen in front of the fireplace. Yea, he's getting around real good these days. I think tomorrow may be our last physical therapy session. :-)
