Well, it's marriage prep time again. Except that it's usually in February; however, this year, we smartened up and lobbied for a change in date in order to trick the flu bugs and fly in under the cold-and-flu-season wire. At this moment, with exactly 24hours to go, no one is sick. However, I am unready to make any formal pronouncements until all presentations are over and done with. That makes for a very tense ten days. Hmmm. Prayers? Yes, thank you very much.
But, before I go, one funny anecdote. The kids and I were driving past the old folks home and Hannah pointed out the room of our good friend's mother.
I said, "One day that will be me and you will visit me."
Hannah asked, "Will you like that? Being with all those people?"
"No," I definitively replied.
"That's really sad, Mom," piped in Jacob.
Hannah offered a solution, "Maybe you could live with one of your children instead."
Jacob, with his usual enthusiasm: "That's a great idea!"
Hannah, matter-of-factly: "I claim her."
I was touched.

So sweet and tear inducing to be sure.
That is great...and putting it in the blog ensures that when they are grown and don't 'appear' to have time for you...just pull this out and remind them (ha ha)...you have amazing children..but I think you know that!
What a dear soul Hannah is.
Ha. My sister and I have fought over my parents too. She was so hurt when I claimed them. ;)
