And now, a word from my sidekick.

Lars: I think Jesus is in your belly, Mom.

1-7-15

Lars: [laughing hysterically]

Theo: what's so funny, Lars?

Lars: Butts!

1-8-15

Me: A lot of people are coming for Theo's baptism. Grandma and Grandpa from Utah, Grandma and Grandpa from California, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Deb, Hannah and Robbie and Rhoda...

Lars (furrowed brow): We might not have that much parking spots.

Me: That's right, we'll have to figure out where everyone is going to park.

Lars: They can probably park in the road.

Me: Yeah, good idea.

Lars: [looking out at the snow as the flakes got bigger and bigger] Mom, look, the snowflakes are growing up!

Lars: Goodnight! Sweet dreams! Don't let the... the bug mice... uh, wake you up.
