The Roome Report

This blog is for the week of  the 13th to the 20th.  I'm so glad that I've been journaling each week and even if I get behind, I will catch up.  This picture is a card I made for a friend from church whose mother passed away.  She is also my visiting teaching companion and a very loving person. I like to make these kinds of cards because their unique, personal, it allows me to describe the characteristics that I admire and see in them, and it is something they can hang and look at to know that someone thinks they are wonderful. AJ and Audrey are always wrestling around... well AJ is always chasing and grabbing Audrey to wrestle. Audrey usually laughs and has a great time before she eventually gets hurt.  I love this picture of them just laughing together on the floor after AJ chased after Audrey. Our first Spring picnic!!  We had a day off of school for teacher work day and invited AJ's friend Taegan Anderson to spend the day with us.  We went to the park and played fo

AJ and Audrey are always playing chase in the house. Last week the they used the toy walker to chase each other with.  In this picture, Audrey stopped chasing AJ and started walking backwards. It was so random and funny and she was so proud of herself.  She did it several times. It reminded me of when she wants me to read her a book, she hands it to me (usually right in my face) and then starts anywhere from a foot out to walk backwards landing her bum in my lap as I'm sitting on the floor.  I smile everytime because it is just so cute.  Audrey and I eat oatmeal almost every morning for breakfast.  Our favorites are when we add frozen strawberries and blueberries. It also helps to cool it down quickly since Audrey has no patience when it comes to breakfast.  I usually put some Cheerios on her table to distract her, but as soon as she sees me coming with the bowl, a huge smile crosses her face and she pants with her mouth open. She also does this when she wants a drink. In the la

Aaron loves to draw.  This picture is of the big storm that came upon the apostles when Jesus was sleeping.  Here the apostles are trying to get the sails down, and a huge wave is about to hit the ship. This is a project AJ did at school.  He has done a few, but I wanted to post one here to remember.  The clues to the puzzle are on the outside and the answer is on the inside.  The first clue - is red, second- it is not  a apple, third- you can buy it at the store, forth- it has tiny seeds.  He came up with the clues and wrote them by himself. When you open the clues a picture of  a strawberry is on the inside. He was very excited to show me what he accomplished. This week was exciting  in one way and not fun in another. The great part was Aaron getting his "big" bonus from work. Aaron has worked extremely hard and all of our family has made lots of sacrifices.  But to be able to pay our debts, is an enormous relief and a huge blessing.  I can't really express the p
