Fun and Innocence

Three cheers for Mom because she finally finished ordering all the knobs & handles AND the carpet for the Prescott house!!!
She surprised us with a visit on her way home from the airport. We barbecued hamburgers which were excellent (you really must have Geoff grill for you when get the chance...) Katherine enjoyed eating a whole piece of fruit for the first time using her aspiring teeth... 4 top teeth are coming in all at once this week... Gr-ross! for all of us... Can we say snot city?

So with Geoff having to work on Sundays, Katherine comes with me to everything. I sing Me and My Shadow to myself and think I am funny... Of course I take her to ward choir along with the obligatory books & toys necessary to occupy her while I sing. Last Sunday, however, Katherine decided she was hungry, again, and would not wait... I put her on my lap to try to appease her during the last few minutes of rehearsal, like a good mom, and then she rewards me by yanking down the front of my shirt to tell me she wants to nurse NOW. Now, I was wearing a relatively high-necked t-shirt, but it's AMAZING just how far cotton stretches... The bass section got rewarded with full cleavage for coming to choir that day!! One guy looked like a dear in headlights... Couldn't be helped... I just have that kind of effect on men...
Job satisfaction is a good thing. Monday I got this text from my husband that said:
"We stopped a car with a stolen plate this morning. It felt good to yell and point my gun at someone..."
Love it... Then he comes home, we eat a nice meal at the dinner table and he puts Spud to bed. Everyone needs a little fun AND innocence in their lives...
