When the Moon Hits Your Eye...

Some of it will splatter on your chest, some of it will smear across you sweet chubby cheeks, and SOME of it will land on your head!



Then your mom and your big sister, who are charter members of the James Admiration Society, will laugh their heads off and run for the camera, because, of course, you are the only baby ever to make a mess while eating pizza, and prove once and for all, that THAT'S AMORE!

God Knows Everything



Sweet cat, sweet kid, right? So why have I wanted to send Ned back to the frozen north (a.k.a. Camp Bullfrog)? Let me put it this way: Two weeks ago I found myself poring over the different rake options at Lowe's. I finally decided that the garden variety rake with strong, solid tines was my best option for raking cat POOP out of the decomposed granite path and the GRASS. I have garden beds, I have sand piles, I have paths, I have another sand pile, I have grow boxes--so why was the cat POOPING on the lawn?!!!

Every day found me outside scouring our vast lawn for POOP. Have you seen the baby? I have enough POOP to deal with, thank you very much. Remember when I was buying Immodium last year for the other cat? No thanks. I was feeling very done with excrement. Nobody had any ideas for me (that means Mom and Steve) and I was ready to pitch a real fit. Here we were with weeks, endless weeks, of 82 degree weather, and I couldn't send the kids outside to play unless I went first and raked up the POOP. (Did I mention one of the cats sometimes needs Immodium? Fun.)

Then I remembered: "Cry unto him when ye are in your [backyard], yea, over all your [pets]." Alma 34:20. I prayed mightily to God. I told him that I knew he could inspire the cats to poop (yes, I used that word) in far more appropriate places as per the list above. I told him that I love the darn animals, and so do the kids, so please, please, please I didn't want to have to give them away.

Today, three days later, I went outside. He truly is a God of miracles.

Walking


The cutest little walking nine-month-old I've ever seen (except for that other one, of course!) He practices all day long. By the end of the day he walks better than he did that morning. Just as a matter of record-keeping, his first step was taken at Camp Bullfrog on November 26, and full walking was achieved on December 31 at Grandma Pickle's.
