Seen + Overheard.
Tags:[ meeting storm troopers prior to marching in the Eugene Celebration parade ]
To the bus driver as he boarded yesterday morning: "Shelia! Shelia! Guess what? The earth is moving!"
To us: "I am going to have a sister and her name is Cousin Lucy."
[ And just to clarify, Lucy is the name of Simon's cousin. His sister will have a different name. He just likes her so much that he wants her to have the same name. It has become a game for him + he laughs so hard when he tells us this will be his sister's name. ]
Cool giveaway coming bright + early Thursday morning.

I just love your kid!!! I do believe if God had not had him destined for you & Chris he was intended to be my 10 year olds little brother!!! He would love all the Legos, clone wars & such laying around my house. Of course my 10 year old would have introduced him to Pokemon by now....

I love your blog and appreciate your success in keeping it fresh...a wonderful combo of your personal life, photography, and training information. It's the only blog I read, and I read it every morning. I hope you can find time to continue it after Cousin Lucy arrives.

Best post ever. :)
My nephew Thomas came up with the name for his little sister. Only they didn't know what they were having like you do. He was 3 and started telling everyone he was going to have a sister named Rebecca. He was so sure of it that they really had no choice when she was born... and we love our Becca!!!

Don't kids just say the funniest things?
Today at school, a little kindergarten boy got his lunchbox taken away because he was hitting people with it on the way to recess. Then, at recess, 10 minutes later, he was still crying about the lunchbox. He told me that his mom was going to come to the school and kick that lady because "I have a really mean mom". (I think he meant it in a nice way?)
I reminded him that it isn't nice to kick. He quickly corrected me "No, I wasn't gonna kick anyone. My mom will 'cause she is MEAN."
Gosh, it is SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH sometimes!

Well all in all "cousin Lucy" is much better than Gordon that my then 7 year picked out for his teacher who was having a baby girl. ( Jeff Gordon is his favorite Nascar driver..they share the same birthday! Aug. 4th..lol ) She was so sweet because she told him she would seriously consider it!
