I won’t lie to you.  Things are hard, hard, hard around here.  We’re all struggling a lot.  Matt and I struggle with slaving over this house and it NOT selling yet.  I struggle with being sick and nonfunctional.  Actually, everyone struggles with me being sick and nonfunctional.  Zach and Rissa are having a hard time not having “normal mommy” who has energy to take them places and to spend time playing.  And Matt worries about me and and works hard to cover for what I can’t do and we’re all a bit of a mess.  Like I said, I won’t lie.

What we do have in large quantities is cute.  We are rolling in cute over here.  The cuteness around here brings smiles to our faces every day and we giggle and laugh and say, “That’s so cute!”  Because it is.  I’ll give you some of the cute.

And now, for some singing twoddler cuteness.  We love it when our twoddlers sing.  They have such sweet voices and they burst into song randomly throughout the day, every single day.  Sometimes they make up their own.  Sometimes they sing one that we should be able to identify but have a hard time figuring out.  And sometimes, it is just obvious.  Like these renditions of the Itsy Bitsy Spider and Jesus Loves Me.  I’ll transcript them for you in case it is hard to follow along.

Zach:  “…sider up the water spout.  Down the rain and wash the sider out.  Out came sun and bye-bye rain.  And itsy bitsy sider up the water spout.  Down the rain and wash the sider out.”

Rissa:  “Jesus loves me this I know.  For the Bible tells me so…  Him belong, this is weak and this is strong, bam bam bam!  …  Loves me!”
