Jonah's Theology

Jonah is very interested in God but confused about him too. Here are a few things he has said lately.

"God cannot reach down to me because he has no arms"
"Does God have lips?"

Last night I told him to try and talk to God and see what happens.
J - I tried. I axed him and axed him and axed him, but he did not answer me.
Me - what did you ask him?
J - I dunno. But I did not hear anything with my ears...

A couple of days ago, it was raining and he said "WELL, I guess God does NOT love me anymore. There is NO rainbow outside. *SIGH*." So I went to the window and sure enough there was a rainbow out the east window of the kitchen. He was quite thrilled!! coincidence?

Great Pals

Nate was eating (his favorite thing to do) and Jonah told Leah that he needed to get some pictures taken with Nate. The following pics are the results of the photo shoot...

Jonah thinks it looks cool if you have a picture taken with your eyes closed. Nate would like to keep eating, uninterrupted.

Jonah, how old are you?

New Bike

Jonah has quickly outgrown the old moonrider, so I scored a good deal on a new bike that should last him for the next 2 years. He got a new helmet and knee pads too. The knee pads are already totally scratched up.

On the go...

Just a little clip with him cruising around on it.

sometimes he wins

Nate has been engaging Jonah in combat more and more. Most times Jonah is completely unaware that he is under attack because Nate is not really agressive and does not hit hard at all. Here is a little sequence where Jonah has cut into Nate's play and Nate fights back. You can see he is grabbing Jonah's back. Eventually he wins and is very happy. for now.

The Green Goblin

Jonah watched about 20 minutes of the Spider Man movie and was enthralled by the green goblin. He tends to identify mostly with the antagonist character in movies, books, etc. Not sure what this means but we'll see...

I have a very large green marker (permanent) in my desk. I don't know why either. Leah came downstairs to find Jonah with green legs. He used the permanent marker to paint his legs. Why would a little boy paint his legs green?? To resemble the green goblin more closely of course! He tries very hard to smile nicely.

It took a long time to come off but he didn't care one bit. Nate, on the other hand, must have small blades of grass removed from clothing, hands and feet because they are yucky.

ASHLEY - pics of the basement

Just some pics of the basement because Ashley asked for them. Provided lots of "confessional" material during the winter. Not completely finished but almost there. Dad, thanks for the saw...
