Taking care of BABY dolls
Singing BRINGING home a BABY BUMBLEBEE
Singing Wheels on the BUS
RED big book/song
Coloring with RED crayons on Letter Bb page
Hide and Seek with 1 RED CIRCLE

Our Letter of the Week "field trip" looks a little different than most will bc Wow, what a BUSY week!! a sick boy, putting the final touches on a marriage conference at our church, helping friends paint #'s on 16 softball tees, and a high school news team coming over to film our house.

Wednesday Aaron's high school news team came over to film our house, "MTV Cribs"-style and that means a whir of cleaning took place at our crib. But guess who was so kind and came to rescue to help me!?! My mom... BEBE!!! So I love, love, loved all the help she gave and that couldn't have worked out better for our BUSY week... BEBE over for a (cleaning) visit.
Mekele got to use BeBe's BROOM, that they named BABY BROOM. Anything small Mekele names "BABY"...

Sweet BOY has been recovering from having a BAD cold (Croup) and doing BREATHING treatments every three hours.

It seems like we have kicked the BUG now.. and he is back to himself. Yay!

At WeeCare, we had a fun and extra special teddy BEAR picnic. The kids brought a favorite BEAR to school to join them in BLANKET activities.. reading BOOKS and BUILDING BLOCKS, and had a picnic. The pics are blurry bc of the low light in the gym. It was just too hot to go outside.







My friend Mrs. Emily BAKED teddy BEAR cookies for all the little BUDDIES!


Aaron and I are attending a marriage conference at our church Friday evening and Saturday morning. Childcare is offered, but Mekele's BEDTIME is 8pm, and he will be so sleepy (and fussy) if he's up until 9:30pm, so again BEBE and Poppy are coming over to spend some time with him and put him to BED. This will be a first time BABYSITTING at our house, and us not putting him to BED. I'm a little BUMMED, but we are both really looking forward to the time to focus on our marriage. And Saturday he will be a part of the childcare at church.

So Bb was for BUSY, BREATHING treatments, BEBE, and BEARS!! Happy weekend!!
