At the conclusion of his 3rd VBS of the summer, I ask Ike, "Ike, do you love Jesus?" He answered: "I  don wuv Chesus. I wuv Panda!!"

Sometimes at midnight or 1am or 3am I will wonder, Why am I awake? Then I will hear from upstairs one of my children cry out in fear, and I know why.

Shep: "I have a lot of remembories from when I was a baby."

Starting yesterday, every time that Ike asks for something and I tell him no, he responds with, "GG said yes."

Eva Rose, giggling, just handed me a picture she drew: Deadly Dora holding a knife, stabbing Boots. I was very concerned till she said Shep told her to draw it. Oh, okay then. And that's the difference between boys and girls. Girls do that, you call a psychologist. Boys do that, you just roll your eyes.
