Andrew really enjoys playing around in my closet these days, and every time he comes out wearing this particular pair of shoes on his hands. They were a gift from Nannie - they are slip-ons and super warm and fuzzy on the inside, so they make perfect mittens (especially when real mittens and mommy's socks aren't available).
Conscious that Atlanta traffic is terrible and our air-quality is less than desirable, Andrew has opted to work from home most days. Here he is setting up an important business meeting on Phil's Blackberry - in his wambones, no less! Another bonus.
Sometimes the phone makes it over the ear, and sometimes it's just more fun to hold it on the back of the head.
We bought The Precious his first Bible about a month ago and have started reading a passage from it every morning during breakfast. During the reading, he's often desperate to grab at the pretty book with oatmeal-covered fingers, and after we're done, he gives us an "agee!" One might assume that he would do the same thing if we were reading the ingredient list from the back of a Pop-Tarts box, but deep down I think we all know that it's because he's spiritual beyond his years and really can't wait to find out what happens with Jacob and Esau. Now, we won't go comparing him to Eowyn's daughter or Ami's daughter (who are probably, at this moment, sharing their most recent insights on the minor prophets with their respective playgroups), but I will say that it warms me when he reaches out for our hands when we go to pray.
Here's a shot of Andrew focusing intently on Phil during the devotional (yes, that is cheap-o Carnation Instant Breakfast around his mouth - he loves it.) I've decided to just let you all discuss amongst yourselves whether or not Phil is wearing anything other than a t-shirt.

So, is he growing a beard or what? Mark has become a Grizzly Adams himself lately. Can't say that I like it too much, especially since it is growing in red and his hair is more brown with hints of gray.
I'm not sure where the holding the phone to the back of the head thing comes from either. Caleb does that, too. So cute!!!!!!
And that was Phil I was asking about the beard thing, in case there was any confusion :-)
I wonder what we can infer about Brennan's current level of spiritual development from the fact that every time we ask him to help us say the blessing these days, he starts folding his hands, then looks up at me darkly and yells an emphatic, "NO!"? Hopefully, it's just a phase...
Yay! I'm so glad he's enjoying devos. And Wally looks the same in the morn as Phil.
I am sitting in my living room all by myself laughing out loud. I don't think I would have even noticed Phil's appearance in the background of that picture, but now that you mention it.... ha ha ha
