Things heard at the dinner table: Si: "When are we going to start flossing?" (Apparently they had a lesson on dental care at school the other day)

Things heard in the van: Micah: "When are we going to get a 'For Rent' sign in our yard?" (Hopefully never...)

Things heard in her brothers' room: Emerie: "Okay, Mom. See ya. Bye." (While trying to get Andrea to leave the room so she could get into the LiteBrite...)

Things heard over the phone: Andrea: "So when I took the cowboy hat Micah forgot to preschool he was so excited. He put his hands on either side of my face and kissed me right on the mouth. I got to be the big hero." Chris: "Yeah, and I got to be the Dad who forgot the cowboy hat..."
