My cousin Melissa married Davis Wood this week. It was great to see so much of my family and be part of Melissa's special day. Things were beautiful. My Aunt Jen and her kids even came down from Idaho Falls. While we were waiting outside the Bountiful temple I had an interesting conversations with one of her sons, Cory. He was baptised a few months ago and recently finished the second grade. Logan was a little cranky so we were doing laps around the flower beds, Cory was walking with us. We were talking about all the things he learned in 2nd grade and because he didn't like his teacher he was glad to move on. When out of the blue he asked ...
Cory: "Why are we walking?"
ME: "Logan is a little cranky and walking helps"
Cory: "Do you ever get tired of walking?"
ME: "Sometimes"
Thoughtful pause - Cory: "Do you get tired of not be able to do the things you want to do cause of the babies?"
ME: "Sometimes, but I think they are pretty groovy so it's ok. Aren't you glad your Mom did the same thing for you?"
With a goofy smile Cory: "Yea"
And then it was all about 3rd grade.

Aren't you glad that your mom did the same thing for you? What a profound statement.

That is way cute! I love the fact that you can write ME and it has a double-meaning. It makes me want to have a kid with those initials. :)
Kids come up with the funniest things! Glad you could hang out with your family this week!
