I just wanted to say Thank you for all of the birthday wishes. I received a few visits, many phone calls, Facebook posts, and blog comments for my birthday. Each one is so appreciated! So, THANK YOU!
6/11: T was playing around with his new CTR ring, a glow in the dark one. He then asked: "Mom, if good people choose the right, do bad people choose the left?" -- Ah, good question!
12/10: J informed us that he KNOWS Santa is real due to the fact that "you guys are too cheap to buy us the good stuff that Santa brings!"
T wanted to know why some of his friends had paperclips on their teeth. We figured out that he was talking about braces!
10/10: T "Dad, I want to be a cowboy. J can be my horse!"
6/28/10: J: "Dad, what does a sweet tooth look like?"
6/10: When J was just about done practicing the piano, he said, "I'm almost done finishing!"
11/24/09: While we were shopping at the gift shop in Yosemite, J was very puzzled. He picked up an item with "Yosemite" written on it and said, "Mom, they keep putting a Y in Gethsemene?!?" He thought Yosemite was Gethsemene.
11/25/09: T was pointing out that since we've been to Yellowstone, we should go to Purplestone next.
10/08/09: G and T were looking at the plastic planets hanging from N & B's ceiling. G was explaining things about them when T asked: Are there tacos on Mars?
8/19/09: G asked T, "How many fingers do you have?" T replied, without hesitation, "All!"
6/09: When my nephew, C, was visiting, he didn't remember N's name. He was trying to tell me something about N by saying, "The Long One"! I knew EXACTLY who he was talking about! My 5'9" 13 year-old!
