Here is Asa and Wally enjoying their bomb pops.
Asa has been a bit cranky this week
and has been battling ear infections.
If you have not met Wally yet,
he is the international student that we have
the opportunity to host this year.
He has been a very good big brother to our crew.
We have been quite surprised.
I think we really just expected him to sleep,
eat, go to school, and study.
But, on the contrary, he plays with our kids a lot
and is really quite helpful and you might even say
protective of the kiddos.
(Like when Lily is about to fall off of the chair she is standing on
or Asa pukes in his bed and we don't know it)
I guess God knew we needed an extra set of hands around here :)
Grandma Peanuts (Geoff's mom)
used to pray with the kids when they spent the night
and she would ask God to let all the angels protect them...
"especially Wally"...
I think that is kind of ironic, eh?
Except, I think Grandma Peanut's "Wally"
was supposed to be a fish.
Oh well!
We are just hoping Wally can survive
a whole school year in our house.
It's pretty crazy around here!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wally, angels, and prayer history: when I was a young girl and spent the night at my cousin, Bonnie's, her dad, my Uncle Andy, would kiss us good night and pray over us: "God bless you and watch over you and may all his angels protect you." The memory stayed with me and was activated when my first grandson, Austin, was hospitalized soon after birth. I decided that Austin needed a guardian angel statue and I involved everyone in the family to help name Austin'special angel. Austin's dad (my son, Rick) came up with Wally after the fish, the walleye. Soon after I would pray over Austin: "God bless you and watch over you and may all his angels protect you, especially Wally." I continued the practice with Geoff's kids. I decided Angel Wally was all my grandchildren's special angel especially during infancy. Of course, it follows suite that Wally arrived at Geoff and Cathy's this school year! From the sunds of his involvement with the kids he is doing just what God expects of him!
Grandma Peanut Ask Geoff and Cathy how I got that name!
