Life Lessons

Well, we learned two important lessons this week:


Lesson #1: When you go on a short business trip and only take one change of clothes, be sure to check with your boss before packing to avoid this...


I can't tell you how many people asked if this was the "Ross, Dixon & Bell uniform" during the dinner we attended. On a more positive note, it does make your boss think that you really admire him and want to be like him in every way.

Lesson #2: Don't underestimate your kid's deductive reasoning powers. As we try to teach our little one about Heaven, we made a comment last night about living with Heavenly Father. Gracie raised both hands in the air and responded, "I want to live with Heavenly Father. I'm going to get hit by a car and live with Him!!" Freaky, right? Well, turns out that earlier that day, Tommi and Grace were out and about and Grace started to venture toward the road. Tommi had said something like, "Gracie, you need to hold Mommy's hand when we get near the road. I don't want you to get hit by a car. If you do, you can't live with Mommy & Daddy anymore--you have to go live with Heavenly Father."
Guess we need to be a bit more careful about how we phrase things, huh?

Scary! At least she understands how much Heavenly Father loves her, right?

As for the matching outfits--sexy, Russ. Can't wait to see you guys in about four days!

The matching outfits are too funny! Is russ trying to kiss up to the boss?? I love the way kids think so inocent. But, way scary.

ha ha... nice uniform Russ!!
ahh and I miss little Gracie so much! She is so cute and what a deep level of love for heavenly father. Maybe that is why we are to be like little children is to love him that much (enough even to be hit by a car!!! :)
