Back at the beach again! Warm, sunny weather is nice.

After playing at the beach this morning, Sam and I had a long chat in the truck when we pulled back into our driveway. Ben was pretty tired from playing, so he sat fairly quietly and listened. The following are some of his statements…mixed with my questions…

“I will go to work all day and you can come visit me, for, like, 60 minutes.” Oh! That is so nice! I would love that! “I will live in this house my WHOLE life.” And will you have a family? “Ummm…I will have two children. One will be Freddie and one will be Gazey. They will come out as twins, at the SAME time.” And will they have a mommy? “Yes. Her name is Ckristy (I later found out this particular spelling). And she will have a middle name, ‘Jump’.” Does she have a last name or do you know it yet? “Her last name will be ‘Jack’.” And what will Ben be doing at that time, when you’re all grown up? “Weeeellll… he will be a dad, too.” Oh, so he’ll have his own family by then? “No. He will be the babysitter dad. He will stay at home all day, doing chores and taking care of the cheeeldren while I am at work. I will be just BAGGIN’ the house. BAGGIN’ means leaving the house all day for work.” Oh! Very good plan! (Ben is looking over at us with a smirk at this point. I think he understands Sam’s plans for him!) Then Sam continues on… “And I will live in a different state, California. But I will come visit for the 30 days before Christmas.” Oh! That’s a great idea! Maybe come for Thanksgiving then stay through Christmas? “Yes. And then stay for 31 days after Christmas.” Oh! Even better! Maybe stay through your birthday? “Yes.”

I am so blessed to be able to spend this time with my boys, and it was great to see Gramma and Richard on the beach this morning after their three weeks of house arrest with mom’s Great Cold of 2009. Welcome back!
