Kyle's Words

Evan was so excited on Monday. He came running up to me saying, "Mom, Kyle said a word he's never said before!" I asked, "What word?" He replied, "I don't remember." What a let-down.

Dad's Age

This morning, Evan and I were talking about Elbert's birthday coming up on Friday. Evan said, "I know why Dad's older than us. Because we were born after him, right?"

Evan's Compliments

Unprompted, Evan said the following to me this morning. I had to rush to write them down so that I wouldn't forget!

"Mom, you're the most wonderful mom in the world."
"Mom, you're the most happiest mom in the world."
"Mom, you're the most loving mom in the world."
"Mom, you're my favorite mom in the world."

What a way to start my day!

How is Your Day Going

Andrew, Evan, Kyle and I went to Nathan's classroom to deliver his birthday treat yesterday. When Andrew walked in the door, Nathan said, "So, how is your day going?" Andrew responded, "Fine." Nathan replied, "Mine is going pretty good, too."

It's so nice to celebrate when they are nice to each other!

Wonderful?

On Wednesday, it rained and rained all day long. I told Evan that if it was a little bit colder, we would be getting a lot of snow. He responded enthusiastically, "That would be wonderful!"

What is the Holiday Called?

This summer, the boys wrote to soldiers who are currently overseas serving our country. We got the addresses from a website called anysoldier.com. Each boy wrote a letter and drew a picture. We also sent pictures of our family. We didn't know who would receive the letters. We just prayed that they would encourage soldiers who was sacrificing for our freedom.

Yesterday, we got a big package in the mail to "The Yeh Family." The package was from the US Naval Forces Central Command Staff serving in Bahrain. In the package was a bunch of candy along with a letter, a thank you card, a navy calendar, a magazine, pictures and maps. It was so interesting to learn about Bahrain as well as this unit's responsibilities.

We thought that we were going to bless someone with a letter. We were even more blessed by the fun package. We are excited to write back and start corresponding with this Officer.

Referring to the holiday on Friday, I mentioned at dinner that it was great timing for us to receive the package. Nathan said, "Oh yeah! Because of Veterinarian's Day!" Not quite, Nathan...
