Funny Conversations

Ok, this one has no pictures, but I just wanted to get something written down while I remembered it, since this blog pretty much serves as my record-keeping of our events...Callie and Jack have been very interested in Scott and Alli getting married, since for their whole lives, they have had Alli to themselves (no offense, Uncle Scott!). So, while they do truly love Scott, and have accepted him very well, I think they still aren't quite sure about this new arrangement, especially Jack. Callie and I have had a few conversations about it, and she gets it, or so I thought. In the car the other day, this dialogue took place:
Jack: "Where is Alli?"
Callie: "On her special trip with Scott"
Jack: "Why don't we get to go on the trip with her?"
Callie: "Because it's just for Scott and Alli"
Jack: "But we always go with Alli on special trips!"
Callie: "But now Scott is Alli's new Daddy, so they are going on the trip together!"
Like I said, I thought she got it!

During bedtime prayers, we have been encouraging the kids to think beyond "thank you for all the people, in Jesus' Name, Amen"--which is their old standby. So, Bryan has been talking to them about praying for 1.) things you are thankful for, and 2.), things you need help with. Callie dutifully did it, and so sweetly. Jack piped in, "well, I don't really need any help right now." Mommy, however, thinks there are some things that could use some work....!

Hello there. I have been searching for you for over a week now, you use to see my daughter,Autumn at the Family Practice in San Jacinto Hospital. Shortly after she turned a year old, I no longe recieved medicaid, therefore had to pick a doctor within my new insurances "network" providers,ha. Anyways, my husband leaves for the airforce soon, and we are trying to find a doctor for me and her while he is off in BMT and tech school with the new "Tricare Prime" insurance. Baytown as you know has most doctors in San Jacinto and I am very picky about who my daughter sees. It seems you were the only one I felt comfortable around, and Autumn hates her new doctor. I called SJH and they said you no longer work there,how sad . . . are you still working in Baytown. I don't know how to use this website, so if you can email me back it's brandi.woodson@xerox.com or blwgalloway@yahoo.com. I hope to hear from you soon! Your three kids are beautiful. Hope you all had a great Halloween , looks like you all had a blast.
