Our 12 year old son has these moments where he seemingly comes up with random thoughts. I love this about him. He walked into the living room last night and said, "April 1st has to be the best day to ask a girl out. If she says, 'No' you can yell "April Fools!!" and walk away. If she says 'Yes' it's just another holiday"
Yes, He's 12.
Our daughter has the best one-liners. They were joking around one afternoon speaking in tacky English accents when their Dad said, "That's enough of the phoney English accents! Knock it off!" There was a pause and our daughter said, "Quite Right!"
The photo attached is of a happy face our four year old drew on our oldest son's car hood last night in the snow storm. Doesn't it just make you smile? It's hard not to.
Don't think my husband gets away scott free in the humor department. He's one of the funniest people I know. I was lamenting the upcoming treatments and am really bothered by the possibility of losing my hair. It's a great color (if I do say so myself) and I've grown quite attached to it. Damon lifted one eyebrow and said, "Do you think they'd give me a dose or two to get rid of the hair on my back?" and his other line "But you won't have to shave your legs for a while"
In the last year a lot of friends and family have said how much our second son looks like our oldest. I don't see it. I insist they don't look anything alike. The younger one has much darker hair, and his skin tans beautifully in the summer, at 12 he's 5'11" and has grayish green eyes. Our oldest is the same height at 20 yrs old (I KNOW!!) and has lighter hair and bright blue eyes and he doesn't tan at all. In my mind there's no way you can mix the two up, yet people do it a lot. I have to remind them that Taylor is on a mission...in Mexico! Last week I emailed a few photos of the younger son to the older one. The Missionary son wrote back, "The dude looks just like me" wha?????
When I think about what's coming in the next few months I'm more than a little trepidatious. Who wouldn't be right? As I focus on the big picture I try to remember that at the end of this, the end result of the reconstruction is all my choice......And I will choose wisely. :-)
Still Keeping the Faith.
