That's a grave Daddy!

Wednesday was a big day for me. I turned 40. Could it possibly be? That's what everyone is asking me - at least those who knew me growing up. (By the way, a BIG THANKS to everyone who made my day special in sending me messages on Wednesday!)

Delaney helped get me into the spirit of this new decade of life. All the kids made cards for me and they were sitting under my plate at breakfast. I picked up each one and made a special effort to ooodle over every detail. As I opened Delaney's card:



Me: "Look at this beautiful spiral!" (ooohing and ahhing)

Delaney: "Daddy, that's not a spiral . . . That's a grave!"

The whole family erupted in laughter and little Delaney started to tear up.

Me: "Delaney, do you know what a grave is?"

Delaney: "No."

Again laughter . . . and more tears.

After explaining what a grave is she brightened up and said, "That's Jesus coming out of the grave!"

Wish we could of had that on video!
