See no evil. Hear no evil.

Email

Jaden and Ailia were recently "rescued" by Bama and Papa as I was "under the weather" with the stomach bug and barely able to get out of bed.
During the visit we received the following email from Jaden, labeled, "telling."

Dad and mom,

I am having fun at Bama and papa's.

I had fun at the beach I went swimming, dug in the sand, ate, got a Pokémon card and I went to the park.

We picked a ton of berry's!

I bashed in to there screen and it fell out.

For dinner we ate pizza and pie with ice cream.

love

Jaden

Animal

Ailia, If you were an animal what would you be?
"I'd like to be a lion, or a bird, or a monkey, all 3. Or a dove."
A dove? Why?
"so I could poop on people's faces."

Happy Mother's Day

Love this ~ from Jaden.

Words

Brian reflecting on why our children are not accurately conveyed on the blog and on Facebook: "It used to be the words they use and now it's the way they use the words."

New Car

Here is a story relayed to us by our neighbor regarding her last interaction with Jaden:
Hey, Miss Gladys, did you see they got a new car? (pointing across the street.)
She turns to see a hearse sitting in the neighbor's driveway.
Oh, no Jaden, Miss Connie's father just passed away, that's what they use take people away in after they've died.
Huh, well, it's pretty nice, it's like a station wagon.

3D

Ailia and Brian having a discussion about the merits of different exercise:
Ailia says she likes bike rides and running.
Brian says, walks are good too, you can talk to each other and look at things.
Ailia says, running is better cause you can look at things too - and they are in 3D and speedier!
