Our Weekend

I just love this.

I'm so glad my kids are so close to their cousins.

What did we do for entertainment befoe these kids?I really don't remember.

We must have been bored out of our minds.


Wow-look how eager Ben was to get his guitar back.

I just love this.
I know I said it already.

But it's true.

Conversations With Ethan

Ethan: " Do you think Alyssa's baby will have brown skin or regular skin?"
Me: "Well...what do you mean?"
Ethan:"Some people have brown skin and some people have regular skin, like you and me and Charlotte and Daddy and Caden."
Me: "Oh?"
Ethan:"Remember when we went to the zoo and we went inside that place with the log? There was people with brown skin there. Did you see them?"
Me: "Maybe, I don't remember. So what color skin do you think Alyssa's baby will have?"
Ethan:"Um, I don't know."
Me: "Well what kind of skin do Ben and Alyssa have?"
Ethan:"Regular skin."
Me: "And what about Olivia and Selah?"
Ethan:"They have regular skin too."
Me:" So then what kind of skin do you think the baby will have?"
Ethan:"Brown skin."
