Here's Han's theology question of the day, "Mom, why doesn't God just put the Devil in jail 'til he luhns his lesson!?"

Family Christmas Picture rejects

Here's a sneak peak at a few of the shots that won't make the Christmas card this year but are still cute.

All I ever needed to know about marriage....

I learned from Barbie Island Princess!

The other day Han and I were on the couch and she noticed a book that I had been reading. She said, "Mom, what's this book about?"
Me: "It's a book about marriage. How to be a good wife."
Han: "How do you be a good wife?"
Me: "Well, you love your husband, you serve him, you're kind to him, you take care of him."
Han: "What book does Daddy have?"
Me: "I don't know. You'll have to ask him."
Han: "Well, the two things I know about marriage are from the Island Princess (movie)... 'I want my heart to bleed red blood' (no clue what's she's talking about) and 'well I didn't love your father when I married him.' "
Me: "Hmmm... it's really important to love the person you marry!!"
After a pause for thinking...she started to lament that Daddy was already taken. I guess he's the only one she loves enough to marry at this point!!!

All these princess movies Han loves have had an influence on her dialect. I am always hearing things like, "Joshua, give that to me AT ONCE!!!"
Me: "Han can you wash off the table."
Han: "Yes, Mom. As you wish. And Mother, I think I'll have dessert as well."
