Trenton Time

I have to share a sweet story about Trenton. Mind you, he isn't always so sweet as evidenced by all the bumps on his head and face in these pictures.

Anyway, the other morning Trenton was sleeping in and after no naps for several days, I wasn't about to wake him up. When it got to be 9:00, I decided that I had better check on him. As I approached his door, I heard a soft voice. I didn't know if he was reading or playing, or what, so I opened the door very quietly, and heard..."please bless Daddy that he can go to work, and bless Mommy that she can go to Cho--ir. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen." I nearly started crying. At least we are teaching him something good!

Now, I still haven't figured out if he is trying to bless his parents with safety or just ask that we will go away so he can have his fun with out getting in trouble.

Meet the Haltermans

2011 finds us as a family of six and as busy and crazy as ever. Barry continues working at Clear Creek Associates, which we consider to be a tremendous blessing, given the current state of the economy. Barry is serving in the Stake Young Men's Presidency, and I am in the ward Primary Presidency at church. Besides being busy with a new baby and his brother and sisters, I am teaching Let's Play Music Classes, and blogging about my creative endeavors at meandmyinsanity.blogspot.com. Kira (9) is enjoying drama club this year. She has read more books thank I probably have in my life. She's learning the keyboard quickly in music class. She was asked to give a speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new building at her school. Trenton (6) is adjusting to 1st grade and homework. He has suddenly become an excellent reader. He has a gift for music, but not a gift for following directions. *sigh* He still plans on being a scientist and is full of all the imagination and energy that a 6 year old can have. Tessa (3) has recently taken up hairstyling. She is responsible for the short hair do she is sporting now. She loves preschool, dance class, and attending music class (even though she isn't old enough). She's a little computer addict and will play Dora all day, if we let her. She's quite the artist on paper and on walls. She likes to write "T's" for Tessa on everything. She is a sweet big sister to Alec. Alec (8 mos.) is a mover and a shaker! He is exhibiting the same determination as his siblings in learning to get around. He is really a delightful baby! My only complaint is that sleeping is at the bottom of his priority list. He loves people and makes friends wherever we go.
