Funny Man

-
Sam says some funny things. We are always laughing with him at what comes out of his mouth. The past two days, he has really made me laugh with two things he has said. I crack up each time I think of these words...

1. Yesterday at dinner we were getting ready to eat and I told Sam it was time to pray. He was going to repeat after me so we prayed "Thank you God for this food, thank you God for my brother Andrew, thank you God for daddy, thank you God for Jesus and in your name we pray Amen." He did really well following along up until I repeated the last phrase and out came "in Sam name pray Amen." Ha... maybe I should be more specific in whose name we pray!!

2. Today, we were going through a book with some family faces and I was asking who people where. He was saying daddy, Andrew, grandma, etc and I said to him "what is my name" and he replied "mommy Jolliff." It cracked me up. I guess my first name is now officially "Mommy"!

"Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy." Psalm 126:2

Kids do say the funniest things! You can now start a weekly blog of Sam's funny phrases...and then use them against him when he is older...just kidding! My parents still laugh at this. When we moved from NJ to Florida, my parents said, 'we are moving to Miami.' I was so confused and kept asking, 'if that is yy ami, where is your ami?' Thanks for the laugh!

It is amazing how many words Sam knows and uses them in the right places. So smart a boy, thanks to the patience and good teaching from his parents. Andrew will have three role models to learn from. Love, Grandma J

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
