Bradly: Mom, will we see Jesus one day? When we go to Paris?

Lorenzo: Dad! You can speak 'college'? (with all the variety of languages here, it makes perfect sense)

Bradly: You're the best mom in the whole country. (too bad Lithuania is so small)

Mommy: Will you pray for dad to be safe?
Lorenzo: Why? Cause we don't want him to die? Cause he's our favorite dad.

sweets

What's in a word

Brads: Mom, I don't like these sweet songs. (While listening to something that wasn't of the head-banging variety)

Lorenzo: I don't like the pig shot. (After swine flu vaccine)

Brads: Can I play the 'compano'? (computer and piano mixed)

Lorenzo: Can we listen to Jimi? (Hendrix- another proud daddy moment)

And, in case you were worried...

... Chris' flare for creativity has not diminished in old age.

Let the good times roll

Oh, to be thankful!

thankful that the turkey fit into the oven
thankful that a pecan pie without corn syrup is still edible
thankful that the infamous gravy boat made the trip across country
thankful that numerous people without family close can get together and be each others
thankful that butter is in abundance no matter where you live
thankful that a turkey neck is able to be hacked off by an amateur
thankful that kids brighten any holiday for anybody
thankful that cheetos can substitute french onions on a greenbean casserole
thankful there is always something to be thankful for
