Cinderella's life lessons

I was on a trip to Asia a couple of months ago. The following ensued.
Email from Suzy - "We went upstairs for scriptures, and realizing Jace is giving a talk this Sunday, I decided to talk with him about the Plan.  He talked about Jesus dying, then coming back to life.  I told him that means that we will also come back alive after we die.  Then he got really serious and asked if we were going to die, like the idea had never occurred to him before.  I said yes, but we will come back to life.  he started to cry, and said he was scared to die :(  

Luckily, there was a Cinderella glove right next to me, so I showed the the whole spirit/hand in body/glove thing.  He was slightly reassured, but still very worried.  Then he said he didn't want you to die.  Faith started crying too, and said she didn't want you to die either, she would miss you so bad.  This better not be some kind of omen.  If you were even contemplating dying before you come back (or before you are 90, for that matter), think twice about what it will do to your poor orphaned children and widow."

Cat eating children.

Brighton, after she's eaten the neighbor's cat (who was white).  Actually, It was ice cream, but I thought eating a Cat would be more interesting. She also looks homeless, but that's mostly because she likes to share her food with her hair when she eats. 

Kate and her friend Olivia, who both got all Giggly when around these guys at the local "Race for the cure" (5k race) that they did. Olivia mentioned how smooth their arms were. Probably because they shave their arms, like pansies. 

Jace - someday he'll make a great lawyer

Email from Suzy:

Jace didn't want what I was making for lunch, so he said, "Mom, I give you a deal.  If you let me have cereal...let me have it." 

He drives a hard bargain.
