Children's Museum

Gary is still gone, so we are still staying busy, hoping the time goes fast until he comes home. We all miss him and this single parent thing is so tiring. The multiple days of rain don't help but we are having a great week. Today we headed to Indy to meet up with the Spiegel clan at the museum. The Lego Land exhibit is leaving after this week and we hadn't experienced it. What a place. The kids loved it. Logan and Maggie started building right away, while Isaiah and Andrew played on the slide over and over again. Noah joined Bailey and Sam at the Lego tables and built who knows what. Then all three boys sat in a castle drawing lesson that Noah really enjoyed.
Logan loved the pink Lego's and was telling Gary all about this castle when she called him on the phone.
This dragon and other things were completely constructed from Lego's. Unbelievable.
A trip to the museum isn't complete without multiple rides on the carosel. I think I maxed out at 4 times in a row.
Traci, are you appreciating my angled shots? All for you baby!
The Clone Wars exhibit was also new and Noah was way excited about seeing this.
Bailey had told Noah he was going to wear his shirt from school and asked if Noah would want to wear his too. I thought that was very cute.
Of course the gun/light saber display was especially cool.
Noah asked that I take his picture as if Yoda got him with his light saber. Funny.

"Fun to go to, the museum is." That's my best Yoda impersonation, sorry!

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
