For those of you who don't know, I have four brothers. I fall right in the middle. My baby brother's given name is Andrew. My brother Tom nicknamed him Biff and it stuck. He went by Biff when we were kids and he still does. He just arrived in town from Iraq last night. I got to see him today and it was great! He is just home for a visit and then he is back to Iraq. This has been his second deployment. When he's through, he'll have spent three years there. So, here is a a special Thanks, to you Biff, for serving! Thanks for fighting for our safety and freedom!!!

So as soon as Riley saw him he wanted to wrestle, and wrestle they did. This evening while the boys were getting ready for bed Riley says to me,

Riley: Mom? Sometimes I just touched Uncle Biff and he said, 'You got me.' Why did he say that?

Me: I don't know. You will have to ask him.

Riley: I think it's because I have 'THE FORCE!'

It was so cute because he was so serious and so believing. I love that about kids.

This afternoon Jeremy was building with blocks. Tyler and I were watching him, just as requested. Then I stood up and told him I had to go get Tyler some sock. Jeremy says,

"Is that because he has naked toes?"

It brought a smile to my face.
