Epstein Barr--Mono

After a crazy week, we found out that Hank has Epstein Barr, and Mono! It is a little disheartening that my sweet little boy is sick, but nothing that we can't help. Our family has started a new diet: Green Smoothie diet. I will gladly tell you all about it and how it is going to help Hank with his lack of energy. Love that little boy

Boy or girl!?!?!

Can you believe we are asking ourselves that again?

YES

...we are having number 5 in September.

We are so excited and so CRAZY!

Conversation

Setting: We are all swimming at our pool in St. George. There is a cute teenage boy skating around by us.

Teenage boy: Hi guys

Me: HI

Teenage boy: What's your name?

Ruth: Ruth

Teenage boy: Oh, that's great...I'm a spy. I have some pepper spray.

Me: Oh?

Teenage boy: Don't worry I won't use it on you.

Me: Oh, that's good.

Teenage boy: Bye

Ruth: Bye

Ruth and Hank look at me for an explanation.

I explain to him that he is "handicapped" We go on to have a 5 minute discussion about how special and great he was to Heavenly Father. That he probably helped Heavenly Father in Heaven. I was explaining that handicapped people are the nicest and sweetest people you will ever meet.

Hank: (His mind in thinking, a lot!) Very thoughtful is says,"Mom, is Dane (my brother) handicapped?"

Colin and I laughed till we were silly. Even Uncle Dane thought it was funny!

Oh the innocence of youth!
