One evening I called Rusty. I asked if the kids could come over so we could practice Fum, Fum, Fum, a Christmas song for the church program.
"You do know, don't you, that whenever that song comes on Alayna comes in right where she's supposed to and sings the right words," he said.
Ah-ha, so, I've got her to working her mouth in a figure 8 like a camel that's chewing! Yay!
"And the other day when we were at the store "The First Nowell" was playing over the PA system. Noelle froze," he adds, "right there in the store she exclaimed, "Dat my name!"
He does a hearty chuckle. It's so satisfying to hear his enjoyment of his kids. Who knew he’d love a big family! He’s so fatherly.

Later, another evening, another year, we were all at the kitchen table that was covered with a craft mess - markers, toilet paper rolls, glitter glue, scissors, etc. Rusty, dad of the kids, says, "Time to clean up and let's go."
4 y.o, Noelle, got done, slipped down from her chair, and disappeared.
Then the doorbell rang. I was thinking, "Who's that this time of night?"
Alayna, 7 y.o. sister to Noelle, piped up, "Yep, she's definitely outside!"
