This is a wonderful song about adoption. He has two adopted daughters from China. I love the words, especially the second verse, "In a moment what was is lost in what will be..". Well said.

Jack shares an easter egg he finds with Wade
All the girls having tea at The Grand Floridian Hotel
Brian and Claire, in the new costume she got for Christmas that morning, play gameboy
...and a time for every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
The Pumpkins Pose for a Pretty Picture
Another conversation with Jack
Jack: "Ava keeps staring at me."
Me: "Maybe she thinks you're handsome."
Jack: "But I don't have on my handsome clothes."
Me: "Maybe she thinks you look handsome in your pj's."
Jack: "I feel handsome."
Me: "And that's half the battle!"
Jack: "I know."
Me: "Maybe she thinks you're handsome."
Jack: "But I don't have on my handsome clothes."
Me: "Maybe she thinks you look handsome in your pj's."
Jack: "I feel handsome."
Me: "And that's half the battle!"
Jack: "I know."

Things I Love About Christmas
Christmas music
I love the decorations in all the stores
Hung up stockings with a fire in the fireplace below
Christmas movies
Christmas cookies
The Singing Christmas Tree
Unwrapping the Christmas decorations at home that bring back memories
Knowing that we'll get to see family a lot
Going to New York
Christmas lights I see as I drive along at night
The smell of pine and cedar
The anticipation the whole season brings
Thinking about the greatest Gift ever
Reliving through conversation and laughter memories of Christmases past
Uh, the food, of course!
Christmas parties with friends

Funny Quotes From Funny Kids I Love
Brian to Silas: "oh brother!" Silas: "I've got an oh brother for ya!"
Claire to me: "You want to see my muscles? Here's one and here's two (pointing at her muscles). It's from doing cartwheels. I have a habit."
Some of Silas' baby words:
"Dagar"--thankyou
"Lackert"--Tractor
"3,2, ready, Buzz!" (say 'buth') He would say this and then jump from the coffee table to the sofa.
"Bynan"--Brian
Some of Jack's baby words:
"muck"--yogurt
"yay yay"--orange popsicle
"warsh"--water
Claire about homeschooling: "It's like vacation. Except we get to see mom all the time."
Claire to Papa: "When people turn evil, do they all look like Darth Vader?"
Jack after I left their house: "I smell Jan." ( I hope that was a good thing!)
Jack and I were discussing babies one day and he said," One day I'll have a baby." I said "yes, you may." He says, "But who's it gonna be?" I said, "Well, we don't know yet." He says with his nose scrunched up," Is it gonna be Wanda?"!!! We still don't know who Wanda is.
Courtney, Claire and I were eating ice cream together and Claire said, "Well, dad got $40 today!". Courtney asked "What do you mean?" and Claire said, "Well, I heard him say to mommy, 'I got $40 today'. I was glad to hear that!". (She didn't know John had just gone to the ATM machine for Jen!)
I was feeding the twins their lunch one day and Eli had only eaten cheese. I told him he needed to eat his chicken and he says, "I can't. It too heavy!"
Jack to Brian: "Brian, do you want to play tackle or something? And then we can play handbells and then...we'll do our hair."
Me to Jack his first day at Disneyworld: "Jack, can you believe you're here? Your dreams came true!" He says, "This is a dream?" I said "No. This is real." Jack says, "This is a REAL dream?!?".
Claire to me: "You want to see my muscles? Here's one and here's two (pointing at her muscles). It's from doing cartwheels. I have a habit."
