That was a really nice compliment at the beginning...thanks!
I love it that your favorite thing to do is get a good night's sleep and your favorite place to go is to bed :o)
It was fun to get a glimpse into your kids' personalities, you can tell they love you lots!

That was funny. Did you notice the height thing came up w/Aslan twice? I love Jubilees answer of sewing too. I wonder where they get these things! Can't wait to see what mine come up with....
The cow tubing threw me off for a minute. I was thinking it was some new sport - lol. The coffee is starting to kick in I guess - I got it! tee hee....

This has cracked me up. Jubi saying that you like sewing, how funny is that. I was glad to hear that Chris is your favorite boyfriend. I think we need to talk! That was fun.

I absolutely love this! Jubilee's answers especially just cracked me up. But, I think my very favorite was that when asked what you have in common Hosanna said "We're both pretty." Yes! I love that confidence. She gets that from her Mommy and Daddy. Well done.
