Kids say the darndest things...episode 2
So I'm playing the go fast game with the kids in the van...you know, where you punch the accelerator for a second so the engine revs, and the kids shriek with joy and say 'too fast, daddy!'. Well, we enjoyed a few rounds of this on the way home, and as I pull into the driveway, I give it a little kick going into the garage. Four year old: 'Don't go fast in the garage, daddy, or you will go through the wall!'. Six year old chimes in: 'Yeah, and that will cost a lottttt of money to fix!'. Ah, they're learning so quickly...:)

Kids say the darndest things...episode 1
My six year old daughter after coming in from school and setting her bookbag down: "Daddy, are you going to die when you get old? I don't want you to die because I will miss you."
Talk about heartbreaking. She said this with much emotion and sincerity. As I went about making her snack, I told her that people have to die in order to make room for new people. If people didn't die, there'd be a hundred billion-jillion people on Earth, and there'd be 100 people in every house. Her eyes got wide as she declared, "That's too many people!". I agreed, and we both shared how it's very sad when people die that we love, but then we get new people to love as well, like her future children. She reiterated to me how she plans on having four kids and she's going to live in a pink house with Bryce C (her future husband, now in kindergarten). I said that sounded great, and she went to watch her tv shows with a smile.

Happy Birthday Lena!
My daughter Selena's 4th birthday came in the middle of the week, so the following Saturday we had a blowout bash at the house. Thanks to all of her friends from the neighborhood and daycare for coming out and celebrating with us! We had hotdogs, chips, cupcakes and ice cream, and of course, lots of games and fun! And special thanks to her grandparents, Nina and Pop-pop, for spending a full week here in Charlotte to hang out and celebrate as well. It was really awesome of them to make that time!
