James and I just finished watching Julie and Julia...which we both really enjoyed. However, James did not know who Julia Child was. I bet him that 9 out of 10 people he asked would know who she was, so he has been texting and calling people trying to disprove my hypothesis. So far, 4 out of 5 people have known who she is. I will keep you updated. I told one of James' friends that she is more famous than the pope. He disagreed but has still not been able to tell me the Pope's name. You decide...
ANYWAY...
A lot has happened since I last posted a blog...The main thing being Christmas. I really enjoyed preparing for the season this year, especially spending a little time each night with Joseph and his Advent calendar that his Aunt Lauren gave him, and talk a little bit about why we celebrate Christmas. He also loved playing with his Nativity set that his Grandma gave him. He learned the words angel, Jesus, and camel. It was such a blessing to watch him get excited every night to open up a new door on his calendar.
My mom, sister-in-law, and I just spent a wonderful day going to the movies, to lunch, and then to get dessert at some local Kansas City restaurants. There are so many great "pockets" in Kansas City...but that is a whole other blog. I will say that we are looking forward to Good JuJu this Friday.
Here are a couple of random pictures that we have taken with James' phone. Sadly, I made the mistake of letting Joseph play with my camera, and now it is broken...so until we get a new one, which could be awhile, we are taking advantage of the resources we have.
Joseph being silly...
Joseph getting daddy's car ready for his drive to work...what a helper.
Joseph and his cousin Alyssa.
Eating ice cream...one of daddy's favorite things to do is take Joseph to get a treat together.

Even though I see you guys fairly often I love getting to see all the little pics of what you guys do. Maybe Derek and James should take the boys on a double date sometime :)
What's a pope?
Emily. Don't try to use me as fodder for your argument when I haven't even really had a chance to prove to you that there is no doubt that I now the Popes name. I've been down with Joey from the beginning. The real question is did you only know him by Pope Benedict XVI. I bet you did. And when nearly a billion people await your appointment on pins and needles you are heads and shoulders above Julia Childs even at the height of popularity for that annoying movie (at least the parts about Julie were annoying, although they did make you want to cook).
For the record, I never said that Julia Child was more important or even as honored as the Pope. I respect his position. If you are who I think you are...then in my opinion, you had plenty of time to tell me what the Pope's chosen name was...That was all I asked for.
Simmer down...and Happy New Year to you!
HEY! I am going to put your blog roll on my blog...Yeah! you are blogging, I LOVE reading it.
Gi :)
