When we came in from playing outside today Dillon said he had a stomach ache...
Dillon: My tummy hurts
Me: Why don't you lay down on the couch for a little while.
Dillon: No, laying on the couch will not make me feel better.
Me: I'm sorry honey.
Dillon: If I lay on the couch with chocolate milk and you put on Scooby Doo that will make me feel better.
I guess only he knows what will really make him feel better.

The Big Walk
Well it finally happened...
Travis Graduated Case Law School, Magna Cum Laude, May 18th, 2008!!!
Doesn't he look so cute.
It was so great to have our parents, and Trav's grandma, with us on the long-anticipated, joyous occasion.
Check out his walk.

MORE THAN A MOTHER
When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
then He made you and me.
He sat back and saw all that was good,
He saw things to be as they should.
Just one more blessing He had in store;
He created a mother, but whatever for?
He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child's face.
A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile.
She'll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home.
A mother is there to teach and guide,
a mother will stay right by your side.
She'll be there through your pain and strife,
she'll stay constant in your life.
A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand.
She'll pick you up when you are down,
when you need a friend she'll stick around.
A mother is one who listens well,
will keep her word; will never tell.
A mother never pokes or pries
but stands quietly by your side,
giving you the strength you need,
encouraging you to succeed.
A mother is one who can be strong
when you need someone to lean on.
You're more than a mother to me;
a reflection of Him in your face I see,
a love that knows no boundaries.
I'm glad that you chose to be
all this and more to me.
You share a love that knows no end,
you're more than my mother,
you are my friend.

To Schwin Or Not To Schwin
When picking a bike for your kids do you go with long last quality, or economical but possibly temporary fun. I love this bike on sale at the local bike shop on South Taylor road. I often walk over there with the kids and they love checking out the bikes, trikes, unicycles, etc. This bike really is great, however, $$$. I know I could go to Walmart and get a bike for $30, but not only do I miss a chance to support the local business, but I take a risk with low quality and possibly having to replace the bike in the near future. What would you do for a growing, but rough and tumble, four year old boy?
I should add that I wouldn't actually be paying personally for either (Dillon has very generous grandparents), so it's more the principle that I'm exploring. What would you do?
