Mary has now changed her mind and wants to name Uncle Tom's baby girl Princess Horse instead of Cock-a-doodle-do the Chicken. Monday, January 30, 2012


While getting ready for school, Alexander said to me, "N-o-v-e-m-b-e-r, November should be Yesvember." Thursday, January 12, 2012


Tonight I remembered that when Alexander was a toddler he used to have a "social" laugh. It was hilarious. He had no idea what everyone else was laughing at, but he would laugh right along. Very forced and very loud. Tuesday, December 20, 2011


When Alexander was 3, Jesse taught him a response to "What's up, Alexander?" His response... "Just cruisin' for chicks."

Last night Alexander got sick a few times in the middle of the night. When Elizabeth got up with Riley, she found out. She asked Alexander why he didn't come and get us. His response was that he didn't want to get us sick. Monday, December 12, 2011
