Lavender the herb of relaxation

I named this blog 'Lavender Lane' to be a bit sarcastic because there isn't much around me that smells like lavender. We just colored Easter eggs today and when my 5 year old Eric walked in the kitchen this afternoon he says,

"Why does is smell like a stinky in here!?!?"

I guess he isn't used to the smell of several cracked hard boiled eggs and vinegar.

He came home from school the other day so excited to tell me that one can recycle elephant poop to make paper! :-) Betcha didn't know that!!!

Amy says the CUTEST things. Here are some of my faves...

'My spy wif my little eye sumping is...'
'God Our Father, God Our Father, we fank you, we fank you. Many many blessings, many many blessings. Amen. Amen'
Precious Paul is giving me a run for it!!! 21 months going on 21 years!! The other day he wandered out of the house and by the time I discovered his presence was no longer under my feet he was in the middle of the church parking lot behind our house. These are his most frequently said words, 'Tain-tu, Biaper, Ou-sigh, cookie, cake and eeeat". The child never misses a meal and if you were to pick him up you would agree with me.

I am carrying our fourth child!!! 14 weeks along and the baby is due on his/her daddy's birthday which is October 19. We are hoping for a girl and Amy is quite sure that it is. We love Baby already and can't wait to meet it. I know there will be much more cute sayings, messy meals and lots of stinkys to come, but all in all... life here in Lavender Lane is...

Beautiful.
