Grandpa Leo's 85th Birthday

It has been awhile since a lot of the family has gathered together and it was wonderful to be with them all again. We gathered at Uncle Jim & Aunt Paula's house to sing and celebrate grandpa's 85th birthday. Crazy that he use to drive a horse and buggy to school and use hot rocks to keep warm in the winter. Amazing how quickly techknowlogy took off. We love you grandpa you are a great example as well as a Great Grandpa to about 80 of us...WOW!

Exactly!!!

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. 'Why?' my daughter asked. 'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs' I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.' I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mom.' We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. 'OH.....I get it!' she beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad. ?''Exactly' I replied back with a big smile on my face.
