Who's Our President???

Since I haven't posted in a while I thought I might catch you up on what's going on in my life... we have moved to a new town... a new church... a new job... new friends... and new possibilities! Though you friends out there are greatly missed Garrett and I greatly feel like God has truly called us here and we love it! I'm not saying times are always easy... but we definitely see the hand of God in every relationship and most every circumstance here!

I recently have started baby-sitting some very precious children... who fill my day with joy and laughter and at times... frustration! I start to realize after they repeat what I say that I do in fact have a great influence in their lives and in shaping who they are right now... But my current favorite story happened Friday. I was watching the Today show when the first child arrived as she set on my couch I thought I wonder if she is really paying attention to the world or if she just likes to play... I pointed to the tv where they were showing our president talking and asked... "Do you know who that is?" and with a quick reply she said "Yes! That's our president Rock Obama!" The funny thing is she thinks that is really his name... so after the second child arrives and I begin to tell Garrett what she has said... she over hears my conversation and says "That's right... Rock Obama..." To which child two a little boy responds "No its not..." And so I prompted him to continue by saying... "well then who is our president." And he said "Squidward!"



So there you have it... kids really do say the darndest things! I'm sure in coming days I will have much more to blog about...
