New "As-es"

Check out Tuck's new "as-es". He insists on wearing them everywhere! He wore them on our walk the other night, and I couldn't figure out why a lady was laughing at us...the "as-es"!

Golf on TV

While I think golf on TV is a great way to set the mood for a Sunday afternoon nap, the two guys I live with LOVE to watch golf on TV. Today while watching golf (the US Open...I think), the commercials came on. My little guy turned around with the most shocked looked on his face and his hands turned up and said, "Where golf ball go?" Guess we'll have to start dvr-ing it so that we don't have to miss the action during the commercials.

Glasses

Tucker is obsessed with glasses! He loves to wear his sunglasses! The only problem: he calls them "asses". This morning we went to Wal-Mart where he pointed out several peoples' "asses". We met daddy for lunch at Arby's where Tuck got a pair of binoculars in his kid's meal. He pulled them out and shouted "asses". I hope to divert this new behavior before we go to church and he points out everyones "asses"!

Survival Mode

Well we've been in survival mode for the past couple of weeks. We survived VBS despite Tucker getting a double ear infection. He had a great time and still knows most of his verses. His favorite ones are "Esus oves me" and "Be Kind". Now if he would just take the second one to heart. We are back into the hitting stage! Yuck!

We went on Monday to the pediatric urologist in OKC to find out more about Tucker's tinker problem. To sum up the appointment...Tucker got a bad circumcision at birth, we can fix it now or wait until he's a teenager to see if it corrects itself. We feel it would be less traumatic to do it now, so he's scheduled for surgery November 10th in OKC. They said he can bring a favorite stuffed animal or toy...do you think they allow baseball bats or golf clubs?

We made the most of the trip Monday by having lunch with his Nan and Pa, Gigi and Papa, Aunt Ash and Baby Ack, and Uncle Ack and Aunt Hoggie. It was great to see them all as well as bid Ack and Hoggie off as they left yesterday for Africa.

He's becoming a champ at baseball. He holds the bat perfectly and even bends his knees. It is so cute! Much to his daddy's delight, he throws and bats left handed. We'll see if it stays that way!

Home at Last

After driving back and forth to Ada all last week for an intersession class, we are finally home. But not before attending Relay for Life Friday night, our VBS round-up Saturday, church Sunday, and VBS Sunday night. It feels so good to be home!

Tucker is in a big boy class this year at VBS. He was a little unsure at first, but then jumped right in for a good time. He's been telling me his verse from last night all morning: "Be kind."

He's still a little wiped out from last night, so I put him down for a nap a few minutes ago. As I was laying him in his bed he told me "ove ewh". My heart melted!
