Amma! Pank Mark!

MicroChanga seems to have a Stewie Griffin complex these days.

She called yesterday and asked Grandma to spank Mark. She was annoyed because he tried to help her with the push-to-talk feature on his cell phone. She’s fiercely independent and insists on doing things herself. When she gets mad at her Dad, she calls him by his first name. We just spoke with him and he tells us she’s still on a first name basis with him.

She recently tried to feed him with a pretend cookie as he was falling asleep. Let’s just say that it was something from her diaper. Luckily, she missed his mouth and got him just under the nose, whereupon he woke up. Note to self: No tea parties when she visits this Summer!

C.J. Is Bored!

Our Corps has two congregations, one of which prefers to meet outdoors, on the beach. C.J. attends the Beach Church and always has a great time but today, he got a mite bored...

...so he decided that he would help me preach.

Ruh roh! He's already bored again!

This is not looking good.


If you don't like they sermon...tackle 'em!



Finally something to do! He helped serve the food. That bag of sandwiches was almost a big as he is. He also handed out cups of soup and managed to not spill a drop...although he sneaked a few sips from some of them.

MicroChanga Speaks

AMMA. The easiest of all to figure out. Grandma.

TEETEE. A demand she asserts after someone takes a photo of her with a digital camera.

BUBBA. You would think this to be a reference to her brothers but it’s the thing that holds formula and from which she derives comfort, although she eats solid food.

BOWBA. Soba (soup).

BOBBA. Yours truly. Many Chamorro children call their Grandfathers Papa.

DEDANCE. Her response when you ask her name.

EE EE. This lets us know that she wants paper to draw on. Its origin remains a mystery.

MIMISH. She has completed something.

MOMACH. It is full when she has mimished her food.

POO. You were wrong about tee tee and you are wrong again. This can refer to either forks or spoons.

WO WO. The canine order. She is afraid of them but loves to pretend that her brothers are doggies. She calls out “wo wo come” and they crawl after her. She directs them around the house but then gets irritated when they won’t get into the oven as she commands.

She loves to play Wii Rock Band. Here she is, guarding the drums with a bazooka. Thou mayest play with the Wii Stratocaster but Thou shalt not touch the Wii drums, which are hers. Hmm...that bazooka reminds me of....I dunno...a vacuum cleaner attachment?

Taking a moment for a photo op with brothers Ping and Kobe...but she is still between them and the Wii drums....and she has the bazooka at the ready.


She is also in a bike gang. Tough Chic!



Posing and showing off trikes and matching outfits is fun but MicroChanga is all about action!



Our budding drummer at practice. Notice that she had turned her sticks around, in order to get a bigger sound. She's a power drummer!

Missing Books of the Bible Rediscovered!

Today was a very important day for our youth. They have been studying the books of the Bible and had an exercise in which they were to write as many of the books as they could remember.

Upon grading their work, we discovered that there are several books missing from the cannon of scripture.

Here is a list of the missing books, as compiled from their papers:

Old Testament historical books
Sablan

Old Testament poetic books
Mikie
Mirie
Rotti
Den
Pen

Major Prophets
I Doll
II Doll
Higtor
Liner

Gospels
Mohira
Rotti (Rotti also made the list of poetic books – see above)
Clair
I Avenaa
II Avenaa
I Parker
II Parker
Seven

New Testament books of history
Lord
God
Angel
Kill
Devil
Bad
Good
Evil
I Bad People
II Bad People
I Snow Town
II Snow Town

Once we find these lost books, it will be tough to decide where to start reading but I lean toward Sablan, followed by I and II Bad People or I and II Snow Town.
