In the intensity of our living...... there is still lots of laughter.  Here are some of our lighter moments.

Lauren:  Mom, what does Bri-dal Bow-teak mean?

Mom:  Huh........ oh, Bridal Boutique, that is a store where they sell wedding dresses.

Lauren:  Yeah...... that would explaing the puffy white dresses in the window.

Wendy: Well, I found out some bad news today.

Ward: Oh, what was that?

Wendy:  Well, I found out that i wasn't born in the year of the Horse afterall!

Ward: Oh, but I thought you and Lauren were both horses.

Wendy: So, did I!  But Lauren wanted to know what Bumpy (grampa) and Isabel were, so we looked them up in the book.  While we were checking everybody's animal year again, i realized that the year of the Horse starts on January 20th, and i was, of course, born on the 14th.

Ward:  Oh, well what are you then?

Wendy: Well...... I am a snake.

Ward: (gulp)

Wendy:  But in Chinese mythology, the snake is capable of transformation, just like the caterpillar.

Ward: Oh, what will you be transforming into?

Wendy: A dragon.

Ward: Honey - you're already there!

Yesterday afternoon I had to take Faven to her team soccer pictures at our community centre.  All the girls were fooling around waiting for their turns.  I was standing with the parents, and updating them on the week's schedule, as i am the team manager.  I happened to glance over at Faven, and she had her head tipped back chugging a clear liquid,  from - a plastic Bacardi Breezer bottle!  Shocked, I hastened over, and asked her where she got the drink - she laughed at me and informed me that it was water.  After a hearty swig, I realized that is exactly what it was.
