The View From Our Picture Window...October 25, 2007

Howdy all! What a busy past couple of weeks! With the fall season upon us, life is just blowing by just like the never ending wind blowing outside my picture window!

To say the least the Busch boys haven't slowed down a bit! Jacob is growing up more and more each day. So much in fact that we have experienced our first parent teacher conference for him. Oh the things one can learn from one of those! We are so proud of him!

Caleb, not wanting to be left behind is learning so much too. Last week, I was going through the chore of trying on shoes to find out what fit and what didn't after the summer growth spurt and Caleb was quietly waiting his turn with a pair fo shoes. Not paying much attention to him at that particular time, I glanced up to see what he was doing. Little did I expect to see what i did. Caleb was sitting there with his church shoes and one step away from tieing them. I stopped the shoe tieing process and turned my attention to Caleb. Since he had the first step down pat, we were working on the bunny ears. I told him, "Ok Caleb, make the bunny ear with this hand..." Since he is left handed this in itself was a chore for me. "Now with the other hand take this string and rope the bunny ear, hold the the tail and pull it tight." Dave was sitting there listening to my teaching lesson and began to laugh uncontrollably. I asked what was so funny and he said, "I have just never heard of any one roping a bunny ear. You are definitely from ranching country!

As I sit here and write about the boys and their newest accomplishments, it doesn't seem real that they are the ages that they are! Like the wind, life has blown by way too quickly! So as life blows by, don't miss the memorable moments! From my picture window full of memories to yours, have a great week!
