Softballs, Cults and Puppies, Oh My!

I'm sick. As if there hasn't been enough going on. Sore throat (there's a softball in there I SWEAR), chills, slightly nauseous.

Well, it's always something.

I've been watching this show on National Geographic Channel on Cults. Specifically the one where Wayne Bent is the "messiah". Ugh, it's just horrid what these people do to these vulnerable people's minds. I don't understand that kind of blind faith, which now that I think about it, may explain why I have a hard time with almost every other kind of faith...

Hmmm.

Charlie Sanchez Beliveau the day he became a part of our family back in September. He is SO LOVED!

We were so tickled yesterday, because Jaxon brought home a note saying that even though the goal was to be to Level 12 in reading by the end of the quarter, he's on Level 20! They are OUT of 1st grade books for him to read. He's also at 99% proficiency (being able to read every word), where the goal was 95%. Smart little cookieface!

I make GOOD kids.

Jaxon and Erin in Davenport, Dec, 2011. She did the editing, Ty took the photo. :)

Jeff assures me he'll cover dinner tonight.

Oh, I hope he means it.
