Eat that Meat!

The Grimes' household possesses a scientific mystery in that somehow our two older children can maintain enough energy to meet their metabolic needs without consuming any food. OK perhaps I'm exaggerating a bit, they eat at the most three bites each before stubbornly pushing their plates aside in protest. Well after a particularly frustrating evening, battle lines were drawn as Pete and I tried to stare down our opponents in a last ditch attempt to get them to eat some food! Then brilliance struck as we came up with a fantastic idea; perhaps a rousing chant will spur them on to good deeds. And with that "Eat that Meat!" was born, and ya know what? It worked!Now the kids eat at least six bites after a few inspiring shouts of "Eat that Meat".

I'm back!

Did you miss me? Well here are some pics of the family during the month of October. This month was particularly challenging as Pete and I were in the thick of school and both of us were sick for what seemed like a month! Was it the dreaded H1N1? We'll never know but I'm glad it's over. No worries though, God is good and he is mighty to save. Enjoy the pics!
