"bampa"

That is interpreted as "Grandpa" in Jeremiah language. Trust me, that child most definitely has a language of his own. Within the past few weeks he will look at you and speak for 15 solid seconds with a look on his face like we should understand all he is saying. I just want to scream PRECIOUS every time he does it. (actually I DO scream it every time he does it).

When we were at my mom and dads house Jeremiah started saying "Grandpa." On occasion he would see my dad and point and say it. One evening, right before bed, we were making the goodnight rounds and dad was in front of him and he would say his name a few times. It was so sweet!

We have a picture of dad that has been on our refrigerator since Mike and I had a refrigerator to call our own (sort of). Every day the boys and I will look at the pictures and talk about who is who. He loves this picture of dad.

IF you guys could pray for Little Michael tonight as well. He has been running a temp all day - I have kept it fairly low (hovering around 100) most of the day using motrin and tylenol, but as evening came it is staying around 101. He has had a hard time falling asleep and his burning up. He keeps tugging at his ears, so I am afraid that he has an ear infection.

This weekend is the Fall Festival at our church. Last year the Fall Festival fell on the same day that Mike was voted in as the Student Pastor. This year I am excited about it b/c we actually know the people this year and the boys can get dressed up and actually enjoy some of it. This year the boys are going as Spaghetti and Meatballs :) Michael is Spaghetti (Yellow yard hot glued to his shirt) and Jeremaih is meatballs (brown puff balls glued to his shirt). I think Mike wants to go as a caveman and I am going to go as the Chef (get it? chef of the spaghetti?!?!)

Be on the lookout for pictures from the event!
