Can he tell the difference?

First thing this morning, Daniel came in and told me he had to tell me about his dream. 'It was a scary ninja story, I didn't like it. I had a friend with me and we went out and beat up some ninjas (bad guys). Then dad speared me.' I said, why would dad spear you? He said, "It was a dream."
'I went outside again and dad speared me again. It didn't hurt. They got fire on me and pulled off my leg. I lost it. But I could hop on one leg like this. . .It was a nightmare.'

We had a ball

Troy and I were invited to the Rangers/Yankee(2nd this week, they apparently won in a tight game Monday night) game by our friends Mike and Jana Sweet. They brought some other friends Chris and Amy- I don't think I got their last names, but they were fun. We were in a suite,an air conditioned box, on the 3rd base. There were other people whom we didn't know, but they all knew the host, Jimmy, a finacial investor. They had a buffet of yummy game food and dessert! We had a wonderful time with all the Sweet people and the game was super. Great plays by both teams and then "our team" won!! Because of the hurricane's leftovers, we had a cool breeze and some clouds, so it felt actually pleasant. The darkening sky gave a romantic feel to the massive packed stadium and lights and colors. Well, I thought it was romantic. It would have been awesome if they would have had fireworks. oh well. They did have a marriage proposal on the board at one point, so it must have been romantic to others as well. :) After the game, we walked back to the cars at Troy's office (about a mile down the road) while the traffic stayed constantly packed for a half hour. We waited for the busy roads to clear by the pond at the office. What a great day in Texas. It was almost like a movie!

Emma's '5 cat art' (name to be selected sometime soon)

Emma is at it again.
I don't know if you can see the different paint invovled, but it is fabulous. Unfortunately, I don't have a big enough scanner to get it all in one scan, but you can appreciate it, and maybe if I get time to play with it, I can put them together. . . I do plan on learning all the neat things that can be done on computers-someday.

Daniel sees all

The other day, Daniel asked his dad something like, "Dad do you make this much money (holding his arms out wide)? And his dad said, "Yeah, I make this much money (holding his arms out). Then Daniel said, "Good, then you can give mom some, she only has this much money (then he holds up his finger and thumb just apart).

I am presently looking for a frame for Emma's art work. I love this and wanted to share. It looks good every way you turn it.

Daniel's favorite thing

We asked Daniel what his favorite thing in the world was.
He answered: Idaho. We asked why and he said "Because I love SNOW!!!" Good thing it was such a great snowfall this year.
Just so you know, he is still cuddly at 4. He plays with my hair and tells me he loves me more than my ______(He says many body parts here, mostly whatever he is looking at, but he tries to say a new one each time as if each one is better than the last), yet still doesn't like kisses (unless it is a contest with the brothers)
