Are You Smarter Than A Fifteen Month Old?


Here she is, our favorite 15-month old granddaughter! She absolutely loves Elmo. Sarah said the only Elmo pj's she could find were in the boys department, but I think Elmo pj's should be for all kids! She is carrying her new Elmo book I found at Walgreen's.


Ava now runs everywhere, and I do mean run! She is very fast on her feet! The good news, though, is that she only gets her feet dirty most of the time, cause she hardly ever crawls around on the floor anymore. We are privileged to get to babysit every so often. I just could not resist taking pictures of our little Elmo Girl.


However, she does love sitting on the dogs' bed! And so do the dogs! So I know this is not a proper place for a little girl to sit! However, Ava does not share my sentiment. I finally got her to stay off by saying "Shoo-ey! Don't sit on the dirty dog bed!" She associates that with changing diapers. She started saying "Shoo-ey" and got off! I am feeling pretty clever at this point.



But, it turns out I am NOT smarter than a Fifteen Month Old. I did not know her diaper needed changing, but she did! The diaper bag was on the couch. She went over and started pulling a diaper out. I said, "Ava, do you need your diaper changed?" She looked like -"Finally!" I handed her a diaper and the wipes, she heads off to her room to be changed! Shoo-ey!


"Don't be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the LORD and turn your back on evil."
Proverbs 3:7

"Now Somewhere in the Black Mining Hills of Dakota....

...lived a young man named Rocky Raccoon."  I always thought that song said "South" Dakota.  Are there Black Hills in both Dakotas?  I'm sure I don't know and am not really going to take the time to find out, no matter how easy it is with Google, Bing, etc. After Cabin Time, This set of Worleys, young and old, headed for those Black Hills.  We were going to see Mount Rushmore.  In South Dakota.  And to see anything else that struck our fancy.  So we struck out in our trusty Jeep and Mini-van, loaded with kids and snacks.  On July 30.  We saw lots of motorcycles as we went.  Lots. Of. Motorcycles!  Come to find out, it was the start of the annual Sturgis Rally.  In Sturgis, SD.  If you do not know what that is, feel free to Google it! Our must stop place was Wall Drug Store.  In Wall, South Dakota.  We stopped, we ate, we shopped around.  It is a lovely place to spend a lot of time walking around. ...

THE WEDDING!

The Wedding -- the only one we will ever host! Why didn't we have more girls? This was fun! Above, of course, Dad dancing with Bride Jenni. They had fun, didn't they? But of course, this was the reception, we are supposed to have fun! The week before the wedding was a whirlwind of last minute activities. We had guests from Chile at our house -- Kani - Rod's friend from childhood, and Cristian -- Rod's brother. We also had Lindsey -- Jenni's bridesmaid and friend of Rod from Chile. We worked on wedding stuff and ate way too much! Decorating the church was actually easy -- we had lots of help. We decorated on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, we finished up by adding trees to the auditorium. And, dumb old me, I have absolutely no pictures of it! I can only hope our photographer took some! Table Decorations at Rehearsal dinner -- Cute! Friday night -- rehearsal dinner. Wow! The Rehearsal went great. Decorations -- provided by my sister and our friend Sue T...

On Being Alone

Sadie, in her "The Water Bowl is Empty" pose. I have spent the whole day alone! Well, Sadie and Belle are here, too. My goal was to sleep late, catch up on laundry, and read through March 4th in the Chronological Bible. I am happy to report, I have met all those goals! I felt a little bit like Mary or Martha today, depending on my activity. I would work some, read the Bible some, eat and drink something along the way. There was some praying occasionally, too. I have been in the book of Numbers today. One of my favorite hymns comes from this chapter six of this book (I am still trying to learn the alto part!): 22 Then the L ord said to Moses, 23 "Instruct Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: 24 'May the L ord bless you and protect you. 25 May the L ord smile on you and be gracious to you. 26 May the L ord show you his favor and give you his peace.' Of course, one of our greatest blessings is Ava. She is getti...
