Moving on up...

...to just north of the Mason-Dixon Line. That's right, God's calling is more powerful than Adam's determination to stay in the south. For the first time in his life, he will be moving north. Adam has accepted a ministry at First Christian Church Newburgh, IN. So, back to Indiana I go but I hear that southern Indiana is very different from up where I'm from. It does not snow as much and is not as cold, not so many corn fields and farms, BUT it will for sure be a change from Georgia. It will be nice to be a little closer to my family too. It's still 5-1/2 hours but a lot closer than the 10-12 it is now! We'll also only be about 6-1/2 hours from Adam's family so really we'll be practically in the middle! Kal's excited that when his cousins visit they will get to stay the night or two or three!

We are looking forward to the new adventure in November but we are also saddened by having to move away from our friends and family down here. This is all the boys know, they were born here!

But, as one of my friends pointed out...my new best friend is waiting for me in Newburgh! That's a good way to look at it! We really are exited. God has blessed us by giving us the opportunity to serve at Fayetteville Christian Church for 6 years and has made this new opportunity work out very smoothly. Things are falling into place and we are thankful!

Boys. Boys. Boys.

So, Kal enjoys enduling in an episode of "Spiderman and His Amazing Friends" on Jetix before bed, and since his dad enjoys it as well, it happens relatively often.

So, this morning, Kal was "Iceman" (one of Spiderman's Amazing Friends) and he came to Kamden, put his hand on his shoulder, and said "I'm Iceman and I'm giving Kamden the cold shoulder." I thought it was very funny, but then cringed at how much he picks up from those shows.

On a different note, yesterday morning before school I noticed that the boys were not downstairs when I finished with the breakfast dishes, so I snuck up the stairs and found them...both standing on the stool in front of the sink and Kal was brushing Kamden's teeth! It was soooo adorable! My camera is broken otherwise it would have been a great photo!

Anyway, they are just at a super cute stage together and I'm loving it!

PANCAKE NIGHT

This is a blogworthy pancake nite for us. So, when I make pancakes, I don't make little tiny pancakes that anyone could eat a half dozen, they are a pretty good size. So, to tally up tonite's dinner:

Mom: 3 pancakes (barely)
Kal Justus: 5 pancakes (and wanted more)
Kamden: 4 pancakes (and could simply eat forever)

So, the totals are not that many but the fact is both boys ate more than me! It has begun!

Must See TV

As promised...superboy lessons

The Demonstration

Getting Ready

The Execution

The Result

Gone to Carolina...

So, I hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend. We went up to North Carolina with the boys and Adam's sister and her daughter to see their grandmother. "Granny" was diagnosed last week with breast cancer so we went up to see her and be an encouragement/distraction to her and Adam's Uncle David. Kamden really enjoyed Uncle David. In fact, he was looking for him this morning! It was cute!

We got to do some swimming and I taught Adam to do a flip turn. It was great fun! The kids were great on the trip up and on the way back. It really helped to have cousin Kadyn along, the boys just love to be with her.

It struck me funny while in the van as in the very back we had Kal and Kadyn watching the same movie on 2 different screens, in the middle was Kamden and whichever adult not in front during any given rotation watching yet another movie on his own screen, then in front the radio/ipod/cds were going ALL AT THE SAME TIME! It was crazy but it worked! We are so spoiled now days.

The trip was nice, the visit was nice, but the kids were very happy to sleep in their own beds last night. I managed to forget my camera so we have no pictures from the weekend but I do have a superhero collection of pictues from the other day that I plan on posting later (maybe today)!

That's all for now, I should check to see if there is any work available as their wasn't this morning (whoo-hoo! I had the morning off!) But, there is a reason I work so bring it on!

BOYS.

So, lately the boys have been challenging. I suppose that is normal for children, especially when routines are changing. Kal loves school, Kamden hates that Kal loves school. Kamden gets to go to the gym with mom, Kal hates that he does not get to go anymore (because of school). Kamden has decided that he does not need naps any longer nor does he need to sleep past 6 am. Kal is craving independence and is dressing himself daily. Kamden likes what Kal puts on and wants to wear it too, and the list goes on and on and on. Needless to say, it has been very "exciting" around here lately. In all of my frustrations with the challenge of keeping things semi-organized and the children in one piece, I can't help but grap the camera. Those boys sure do know how to "work it" when I am getting a bit stressed out. Enjoy the mantage:

This is Kamden (supposed to be napping) being sweet lying on the chair working his charm to get out of trouble.

This is Kal having dressed himself (again, long sleeves in August in Georgia) and trying out my heels...(?) Silly boy.
