When Heidi and Jeff lived in Germany my kids would see pictures of them. One day Luke asked me, "Mom, where is Auntie Heidi? Did she die?" I was, of course, taken back and replied the obvious, "No, but she lives far away." Ana then asked if we could go visit her to which I said, "No Sweety, she lives very far away." Ana, in her infinite four year old wisdom, said, "Well, we could walk." I had to explain that our legs would get very tired if we tried to walk . Ana thought for a minute and said, "We could drive in our car." I then had to explain that cars cannot drive on water and we would have to cross an ocean to reach Auntie Heidi. Totally annoyed by that time and in her most matter-of-fact tone, Ana stated, "Well then, we will swim!"
I'm so glad we don't have to swim to see you next week!

I love hearing the things kids come up with. In their world, things are so simple. I sometimes wish I could go back to that simple of thinking

Missing The Queen of Harts. Hope you're doing okay. We miss the Harts of Lain! I'm going crazy with anticipation for the next blog posting. Maybe even more than the Twilight movie that's gotten everyone so worked up.
