Some of our best conversations happen in the car.
Mia: I love Santa Clause. And Jesus.
Sam: You have to love Jesus. He's the one who created you.
Mia: Oh yeah.

Sam's new favorite snack is eating salad croutons-- only he calls them "cryptons".

Excerpt from one of Sam's recent prayers
"Thank you that Daddy will be safe on his trip. And thank you that the airplane won't run out of peanuts."

Excerpt from one of Mia's prayers. (Note: the Thomas family has been gone for over a month)
"Bless the Thomas family to be safe on the airplane."
(I think she thinks they are on an endless airplane ride.)

About Me
- fünf
- I am a straight shooter. The New Mexican chow hound. I make a mean virgin Margarita. Green chile courses through my veins. I am a wanna-be runner. I am a mother of three and a wife of one- the one, my one and only. I am an appreciater of creative people. I am powered by sunshine. I love trees but don't hug things that don't hug me back. Someone called me "nature girl" once and I liked it. Exercising makes me feel alive. Exorcism makes dead people feel alive. I like chips and salsa more than a friend. I don't like drama unless it's on a stage. I love to pick up and go on adventures. I want my children to see and appreciate the world and it's people. I was a school teacher before I got a harder job. I don't mind blog stalkers as long as they behave themselves.

You will never regret writing these things down. I love reading about your kids nuances. By the ways hope your sister has a better visit than it is beginning. (Elisa)
I'll never forget when Ian was 2 and he started his prayer "Dear Harry Potter" and the look on his face when he realized what he said...
Oh Lys, Kiss your kids for me! Reading that made me miss them so much. I'm glad Mia hasn't forgotten us!
