Clothespile

We get lots of clothes for the kids given to us. Mainly because people know we're poor and most of the people around us have money, so we get the clothes. It comes in pretty handy. We've let it stack up for like a year in our laundry room. Until today when we finally went through it. A lot of we kept. Some of it will go back to the people who gave it to us (not being rude, they wanted it back if we couldn't use it). And then some of it went to Goodwill.
One of the things we found was a Minnie Mouse outfit. Ana wore it proudly during lunch and then promptly fell asleep in her high chair. Here's a picture of her sleeping and then a picture of my wife going through a portion of the clothes.
Right after I took this she said "I'm not in it, right?" Of course she was, so I edited her out of it. I think she always looks beautiful, but you know how girls are. JM

Noah's Amazing Ability To Stay Awake

I believe my son could stay awake all night if we would let him. We'll be out at somebody's house, drive home at like 10:30 pm, get home, and my son will still be awake and want to play for "just a few minutes".
Tonight, I put him to bed at 9:30 pm. Finally at 10:45 pm he had calmed down enough to wear he was just laying there in bed, playing with his book, while he waited to go to sleep.
I don't know how he does it. Most kids are out like rocks on bedtime car rides, but he's able to stay awake. God has uniquely gifted him.
He does get an awesome amount of sleep, though. He'll sleep 10.5 hours at night and takes a 1.5 hour nap. So that's 13 hours. Pretty good. JM
