Lily just said, "I love you," back to him and he leaned over and kissed her on the nose.
December 8th 2013
Decorating cookies w RJ & Lily is entertaining. Lily can no longer ice hers because she licks the knife & she was just caught with four fingers in her mouth. She is now shoveling the stray sprinkles and icing that are on the table into her mouth. To all those who will eat these, I promise that we did not allow the licked cookies in the batch we will serve. Those cookies have been consumed by the father of the icing licker.

A few things from last night (2/12/13):
- At basketball I was lifting RJ up to shoot - he shot one right into the rim and bounced right back and hit him in the head. I put him down and we were all laughing - he ran to the bathroom and I thought he was embarrassed but he just wanted to took at his forehead to make sure it was okay.
- Towards the end of the games he was standing on the side yelling my name right in the middle of a play, a foul was called and we were checking the ball and he yelled again, I asked what he needed and he walked on the court and said, "I Love you daddy" and gave me a hug.
- After watching Tom and Jerry - I took Lily up to bed since she had fallen asleep and then came back down for RJ. He got up and I gave him some medicine for sneezing and runny nose. As we walked back into the living room he saw something under his recliner and he picked it up looked at it and ate it. I said, “Stop! What was that?” With his arms out to the side and a funny face he said, " It is just a marshmallow to my most favorite cereal!”
- I was tucking RJ into bed and he asked for me to put the elephants from his bed in Lily's bed cause she would really like that. As I was getting ready for a shower he came into the bathroom and said that he found a hair clip and put it on Lily’s bed because he loved her ;)

While on the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour RJ kept asking when we were going to be at the beer race (beer tasting).

November 20th 2013
RJ & Lil are laying in bed next to me & I love listening to their little exchanges with each other. A commercial comes on that's funny and they will giggle and look at each other, then RJ just said, "I thought you were going to sleep." Lily just said, "I love you," back to him and he leaned over and kissed her on the nose.
December 8th 2013
Decorating cookies w RJ & Lily is entertaining. Lily can no longer ice hers because she licks the knife & she was just caught with four fingers in her mouth. She is now shoveling the stray sprinkles and icing that are on the table into her mouth. To all those who will eat these, I promise that we did not allow the licked cookies in the batch we will serve. Those cookies have been consumed by the father of the icing licker.
December 9th 2013
RJ "Go tell it on the mountain where Jesus Rhist was born." Lily "...where Jesus Priste was born." Huh. Jesus Christ has a few aliases.
