Today was another productive day. Thankfully our home is quite a bit cleaner than it was yesterday. Isaac had a Daddy Date this morning. They went out for breakfast and then had a walk in the cemetery followed by a trip to the library. Graham worked on our income tax papers this afternoon.

Often Isaac will ask me a question and I'll let him know that we can "look up" the answer (referring to Google). On the way home from church last week we had this conversation in the car:
Isaac: "I looked up 'thrice' and it said 'three times.'"
Mommy: "Where did you look it up?"
Isaac: "I just looked it up in my head. My brain put it in my head."
During one bath time this week Graham said to Isaac: "The soap helps us say to the dirt, "See you later."" Isaac responded, "But if we say, 'See you later,' the dirt will come back."
I was able to have coffee with a friend this week. I'm enjoying the freedom while I still have it. I plan and hope to nurse the baby on demand for quite a while so I expect that will limit my evening outings (that along with the anticipated exhaustion).
One of my dear sister-in-laws blessed us with cloth diapers that arrived in the mail this week. I'm excited to start that again. We used cloth diapers for Isaac but not for Josiah.
It's time to head to bed. Thanks for your prayers!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
P.S. We're praying for an uncle with some health challenges tonight.

Wow, you have one bright, intuitive boy! I love that he said that "my brain put it in my head". Praying that all goes will with the birth of your precious baby! Janice
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth and Graham and Isaac!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to tell you this for some time… when you were expecting Josiah, we started adding him to our "grace" at mealtimes. So the kids would say "and please remember baby Faulkner". We prayed this for so long that Julia had trouble changing to "Josiah" from "baby". Basically we've been adding this to grace since Julia was old enough to say grace on her own, so she thinks it's a really important part of grace. For several months we have been praying "and please remember the Faulkner family", but sometimes Julia changes it back to "and please remember baby Faulkner". I told her she should just make it plural and then it would be "the babies Faulkner" since you were expecting another baby. She thought that was a good idea! I noticed in your blog you say "baby Faulkner" too, so we must be doing it right! Praying for you and all the Faulkners!!! love , the Haywards
