Words of Wisdom

The honest and frank comments from my students often brought a smile to my face. Children can say the funniest and sweetest things. Matthew is no exception. Below is a list of his recent "words of wisdom":

*If it’s too hot for pants, you should “just wear your legs”

*When you really want something, ask Nana – “Her always says yes”

*After spending time with a younger friend: ”Mom, you should always share your stuff. A lot of people don’t know this rule”

*You’re never too young for Starbucks coffee cake

*The flowers on display at Wal-Mart are not meant to be picked.

*Cats do not like to be startled, hit or chased with noisy, light-up swords. Unless they are warned, neither do moms.

*Telling your mom you "wuv" her because "she's so pretty" will always bring good results, including treats and/or an extra bedtime story.

And, finally:

*When thanking God, remember the important stuff, like candy sprinkles, Star Wars toys and Chick-Fil-A

This is Alan's good friend, Brandon. Alan was very excited by his surprise visit!

He was home on leave, but will come home for good in October. Please pray for his safe return and his family waiting for him.

We visited the horses at the

Bay City Nature Center....

neither of us wanted to be

too close.

Gotta love winter in East TX - shorts!!

Having fun with Gram and Gramps

Happy New Year! As always, we started the year by celebrating Alan's birthday. Matthew was in charge of cake decorations! Gramps, Gram and Aunt Addie came to help celebrate as well.
