Levi and Asher are fun boys.  Tonight they were laughing up a storm when I sat Asher up on Levi’s shoulders and helped Levi run around with Asher up there.  They also enjoyed dancing to Veggie Tales music tonight.  Asher really gets into dancing and likes to imitate my really bad dance moves.  It’s super …

A few weeks ago for school, Jude said he wanted to be an astronaut when he grows up.  Today, Jude said he wanted to be a police officer and I asked him to write that in a book about himself that he’s working on.  He instead didn’t listen to my instructions and wrote “police officer” …
