Today when we were doing DITHOR, ds saw your photo and the back cover asked me if you were married. I asked him why, and he just smiled. I asked him why again, and he said that if you weren't he'd like to marry you. I told him that you were married and had 4 boys. He then just smiled. I asked him why he wanted to marry you and he said it was because of all the fun things you wrote for us to do, and just because you were you. Anyway, he's never talked this way about, well, anyone before. I thought it was sweet. Manyy people say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but I guess when you're 8, it's that you've written fun lessons for him to do in school.

That is so sweet!

Very cute!

That is so cute! Here's another funny for a laugh. You know Carrie is my sister, and so my dc know she writes the books they are using. Well, their Great Aunt Gwen got them "Ranger Rick" and "My Big Backyard" magazine subscriptions for Christmas, as she has for several years. Riley said, "Mom, I can't believe Aunt Gwen has time to take all these pictures and write all this - she got pretty close to that jaguar. She's soooooo brave."

He just assumed Aunt Gwen wrote just like Aunt Carrie does. I had to burst his bubble and let him know Aunt Gwen did not write "Ranger Rick" and "My Big Backyard". She just sends them the magazines and a team of people write those. Though Aunt Gwen is kind of adventurous, she is about 5 feet tall and 68 years old. The thought of her in jungle fatigues snapping photos of jaguars was pretty funny. To think he's been reading those for several years imagining Aunt Gwen snapping photos is even funnier.

In Christ,
Julie

Thanks for sharing, Julie. That's very sweet.

Edwena,

That is so cute! My husband read it and really got a kick out of it! You can tell your son that I am very honored. He must be a special young man.

Blessings,
Carrie
