During dinner, we were discussing a new gift from Grandma (Dave's mom). A viewmaster series of China. Daddy told the little ones they'd look at those at bedtime. He went on to ask, "Why is China special?"
The first response from Anna Grace? "Because daddy goes there for work and drinks beer".
Uh, not the answer we were seeking. Let's try again.
Her next response?
"China is special because mommy and daddy picked up a monkey and a cricket to bring home forever and ever".
Here is our Monkey (Anna Grace) and our Cricket (Abby).
--------------------------------------------
PS. Dave wanted me to point out that monkey and cricket are his nicknames for the girls (also called "the babies").

what a special Monkey and cricket you have there- I wonder if Mya named the Dog after your Abby-she calls her Abby-ka-Dabby! She reads a long with me-she must like your blog site!
PS I promise I am not stalking you! but Maybe Mya is-hehehehe!
That is such a precious comment...yes, it will always be special to me because that is where I found my "monkey."
