Teachable moments

Today I was working in the downstairs bathroom, and Tanner asks from the other room, "Dad, how much money do you get in life?" Now as a homeschooling Dad, I recognize this as what we call a "teachable moment." So I said, "Well, that depends." He responds, "But how much money does everybody get in life?" I said, "Not everybody gets the same amount." He says, "They don't?" I said, "No, how much money you get depends on lots of things..." Then it hits me..."Are you talking about the game of Life?" He says, "Yeah, how much does each person get when you start?"

Talk about talking past each other!

We're pregnant!

OK, as Tanner pointed out to me, technically only Sheryll is pregnant. But I get to share in the joy. She is due in September.

Additionally, Carrie is now walking!

Growing up

Trevor is growing up! We attempted to get his license before we went to Texas, (he turned 16 Nov 1st) only to find out the first appointment they had available was in January. We returned on January 11th, and I was flying out to my nephew's wedding on the 13th, so we scheduled his appointment for January 12th. He passed his driving test with flying colors and got his license.

I had decided to get a new cell phone to use has a business phone, so my old cell got passed down to Trev, also on the 12th. Big day for Trevor!

Last Saturday Trev, Court and Tuck wanted to go to town...just the three of them. As they drove up the driveway, I had that feeling that I had experienced a couple of years ago when Tyler left Crowley, TX for Montana, driving my old Toyota Tundra he had just purchased. Time is passing waaaay too fast! I came in as the three of them drove away and told Sheryll, "It's time for a prayer meeting."

Trev folding laundry...his favorite pastime...no...favorite chore...no...something he does to help out. Yeah, that's it!
