Stephen's Favorite Product

It appears that Stephen's favorite store is Trader Joe's. He gets his own little cart and just loves walking around the store and when Mom let's him pick out whatever he wants he always goes over to the cereal aisle and picks out "Organic Gorilla Munch!!"

Priya's Proverbs

This morning when I woke up, I brushed my teeth (see previous post) and went into Priya's room to wake her up for church. I rolled her over and gave her a big good morning hug, then I told her that I brushed my teeth and she said,

"Thanks for following instructions Dad."

Priya's Proverbs - Heaven and bad breath

Tonight as I put Priya to bed we listened to the ice storm outside clicking against the siding and windows. We read numerous books like, Berlioz the Bear by Jan Brett, we just love her books, and a few others. Then after reading, Priya had all these questions about heaven, who was going to be there, do we have to die, things like that. It was one of those special moments.

Then after prayers and a kiss good night she said one more thing...

"Daddy, I love you, when you get up in the morning can you brush your teeth, because your breath stinks..."
