Inquiring Minds

Lincoln asked us last night if Jesus chooses our birthday. I told him that was a pretty good question and that I wasn't sure. Then he asked if it was Jesus... or Santa. Well, I'd have to say that between the two, I'm gonna go with Jesus.

Deep Thoughts by Lincoln Poyner

Lincoln has been so full of random questions lately. He is really thinking about things and it is making me smile. Here are a few of his questions:

It's a good thing that there is dirt under the grass so we don't fall through, right?

Did Santa start off as a baby?

(after reading an Amelia Bedelia book where she planted light bulbs instead of flower bulbs) Do you think Adam and Eve planted a light bulb and it grew into the sun? Are Adam and Eve still on earth? Are they back in that place where it was so nice?

Can we live in this house forever? Even when I'm a grandma... oops I mean grandpa I want to live in this house because I like all of our stuff.

In other news: As we were sitting in church today I had a terrible pain on my right side - my whole torso hurt. There were so many people that were so kind to me during those few minutes. I walked out to the foyer in tears and a sweet sister rubbed my neck. Another got her husband so that I could have a blessing. A young man "uncluttered" a room so that it would be ready for me to receive the blessing. Others were willing to watch our boys and make arrangements for them while we went to the hospital.

The pain subsided before we reached the hospital, but they went ahead and hooked me up to the monitors and checked things out. We have debated a number of times about going to the hospital because I've had so many contractions - and often at very regular intervals, but they always stop after an hour or two. It was a relief for both of us to know a little more about how he is doing in there. Everything looked just fine. Our best guess is that he pushed up against a nerve causing the pain. We were back at church in time for half of the third hour.

In even better news: We have a new niece today! More on Emery when I get pictures.
